Hingham Area Branch of
AAUW is the South Shore’s leading advocate
for education and equity for all women and girls. We seek and
welcome new members from Quincy to Plymouth holding an associate or
equivalent or baccalaureate or higher degree from an accredited
institution.
The Hingham Area branch of meets monthly from September
through May usually on the evening of
the second Tuesday of the month at various locations
convenient to the wide area covered by our membership. Our
programs relate to AAUW's mission to promote equity for women and
girls, lifelong education and positive societal change.
We engage in
fundraising to support AAUW's
Educational Foundation,
the world's largest source of funding exclusively for graduate women
and the Legal Advocacy
Fund,
the nation's largest legal fund focused solely on sex discrimination
in higher education.

The
Hingham Area branch also sponsors Study and Special Interest
Groups. Study Groups may be formed to allow for a more in-depth
exploration of a particular topic or for a more informal
presentation of a timely topic than might otherwise occur at a
branch meeting. Special Interest Groups, open only to AAUW members, include book discussion, adventures in dining, a writers
group, a game night, and a decluttering group. Groups generally
meet in homes and are announced in the monthly branch bulletin.
Check with one of our
program VPs
for information on our current interest group activities.
We seek and welcome new members among graduates who hold an
associate or equivalent or a baccalaureate or higher degree from
a college or university. Undergraduates may join the
branch as AAUW student affiliates. We practice AAUW's
diversity statement: There shall be no barriers to full
participation in this organization on the basis of gender, race,
creed, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or
class.
We welcome new members from the South Shore! For more
information about how to join, please
contact either of our Membership Vice President,
Pat Laidler
or Patricia McKay (781-337-3375).

Programs and Events
2008-2009 |
|
The Hingham Area Branch just celebrated
its 40th anniversary as part of the American Association
of University Women. AAUW members believe in the power of education to change
women’s lives. We also recognize that women’s education
means not only attaining higher degrees. It also means
becoming financially literate, daring to take risks to
grow and learn throughout our lives, and to help others
both around us and far away from us to reach their
potential.
Our programs this year will primarily focus on women and power, and we hope you will join us at one of our
events as we explore its many facets. No matter
how busy your daily routine is, we think you’ll get
something out of our events. You’ll meet like-minded
women from the
South Shore, we’ll hear from fascinating speakers on
thought-provoking topics. In addition, we hope to
collaborate with our sister branches in an action
project.
|
|
|
For more information about our meeting topics and
speakers, please contact Program Vice President
Jane Moore or Diane
Morash. |
|
|
Expand your horizons and potential. Come to our
monthly meetings, bring a neighbor, friend or colleague!
Remember,
AAUW advances equity for all women and girls through
advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research--because
equity is still an issue.
We
look forward to seeing you!
