2007 Convention Information

Overview

Join us April 20-22 at the Hawthorne Inn and Convention Center in Winston-Salem for the 2007 AAUW NC Convention! You'll leave with -

• Inspiration and new energy - talk to members from around the state to hear their best ideas. See your fundraising "in person" with a chance to lunch with an Educational Foundation fellow. Hear remarkable women as the plenary speakers!
• New and renewed connections to other members - receptions on Friday and Saturday will give you a chance to see old friends and make new ones. Join the tour on Friday or the walk on Sunday for even more time to "connect". A special workshop for college/university representatives will help them make connections with each other and those members who want better relationships with the campuses.
• Improved knowledge and skills - speakers will discuss public policy highlights, educational equity, membership and leadership development strategies, the results of a project on girls' healthy lifestyles (and insights into how the branch won the grant to support the project),
• Better understanding of the “big picture” - meet the current and incoming leaders of AAUW NC. Take part in discussions that will affect the future of AAUW in North Carolina. Hear from two Association leaders about the pending changes at the national level. Take part in a Q&A at the Town Hall on Sunday morning to learn about changes in North Carolina and across the country.

Find all the details in the current issue of the Tar Heel News, and watch this space for updates as we get closer to the convention.
