Message From the PresidentThe EdEqChange is a monthly memo prepared by Association to facilitate discussion and collaboration as well as communicate the specific changes being undertaken. It is forwarded to all board members including branch presidents. Please forward to branch members as appropriate. EdEqChange is designed as an open dialog in which all parties (Board, membership, staff, and even future members) are welcome. An archive of all previous issues is available at: AAUW EdEqChange

AAUW's LAF - Multifacted The Legal Advocacy Fund (LAF) does more than provide funding and support for women seeking judicial redress for sex discrimination in a college or university setting. Since its founding in 1881, LAF has contributed to 100 cases pending in state and federal courts. Read More to learn how LAF is active in other ways.

AAUW Education FoundationThe AAUW Educational Foundation — the world's largest source of funding exclusively for graduate women — supports aspiring scholars around the globe, teachers and activists in local communities, women at critical stages of their careers, and those pursuing professions where women are underrepresented. The Foundation funds groundbreaking research, fellowships and grants, special awards, vital community action projects, and symposia, roundtables and forums. (cont. . . )

Public Policy AAUW is strictly non-partisan, but it does have an attitude. The public policy issues are set with member feedback, including an every member survey. Maryland AAUW has adopted a Public Policy Program for 2005-2007. For additional information, contact Elaine Franz.
