Who Is Eligible for AAUW Membership?

AAUW’s story begins in 1881 when a small group of female college graduates banded together to open the doors for women’s career advancement and to encourage more women to pursue higher education.

AAUW’s Charlotte Branch has a history of trailblazing since its founding in 1913. We have broken down barriers and initiated programs that continue to grow and impact our community while promoting societal change for the AAUW mission of equity and life-long education for women and girls.

AAUW membership is open to anyone with an associate (or equivalent, e.g., RN) degree or higher from an accredited educational institution. Your membership makes our powerful voice even louder on critical issues affecting women and girls.

Make a Difference

By becoming a member, you’re not only joining a community committed to our cause. You’re also directly funding our work to:

• Train millions of women to negotiate for higher salaries and benefits.
• Support state and local fair-pay legislation to ban the use of salary history in hiring, a practice that puts women at a financial disadvantage.
• Develop more women leaders through workshops and conferences.
• AAUW offers lots of opportunities to get involved with a local community of activists. By joining at the branch level, you can serve in leadership roles, sponsor community action projects, and lobby on priority issues like pay equity and Title IX reform.

Member Benefits

Membership in AAUW also provides a host of perks and benefits. AAUW members:

• Receive great discounts and special services on insurance, hotels and travel, office supplies, email services and more.
• Stay informed and active through a host of digital resources and newsletters, including roundups of the latest news and research in gender equity, opportunities to engage in grassroots activism, and updates on AAUW membership resources.
• Weigh in on who will lead AAUW on its board of directors and decide which public policy issues should be our highest priority.
• Get the opportunity to participate in one of the committees and task forces that move our agenda forward. Not to mention the many opportunities to play pivotal roles at the state or branch level.
