Tillamook American Association of University Women New Member Event
Vision Statement: Equity for All. AAUW endeavors to advance gender equity for all, on a national, state, and local level. Our Tillamook branch was started in 1938. We sponsor several scholarships each year, enabling young women to study at Tillamook Bay Community College (TBCC) or 4-year colleges/universities throughout the country. We also sponsor a STEAM camp for junior high school students, and STEM recognition awards in each high school in Tillamook County. AAUW also facilitates non-partisan candidate forums for local and state offices. Our regular monthly meetings often include interesting speakers from our local community who inspire women to achieve their goals. We also organize several book-clubs for our members.
We will have guest speakers talking about STEAM programs in Tillamook County and past scholarship recipients who will share their journeys and achievements. Hear about other programs that we provide in the community like our annual candidate forums. Catered coffee and refreshments from Hygge Kitchen will be provided. Come and hear from members about the lasting friendships they have made while making a difference in our local community.
