FOLLOW THE AAUW NATIONAL CONVENTION ACTION ONLINE

The national convention will be June 26-28, and the hot topic of discussion will be the proposals for major changes in the association bylaws. Up-to-date information about the proceedings will be posted on the AAUW web site, http://www.aauw.org.

AAUW's site has two pages for news, so they may be a source for highlights too -
