Meet the challenge! We need your help to reach the intermediate goal of getting 100,000 women trained in salary negotiation by August 23, 2019. Meeting this challenge will qualify AAUW to receive part of the grant funds from the Coca-Cola Foundation supporting this program. It is also an important milestone to reach the final goal for 10 million women to be trained in salary negotiation by 2022.
We are asking every Branch member to help meet the 100,000 challenge! By August 23rd please take the Work Smart online course and get your friends and colleagues to take it too. If you’re saying “I’m not looking for a job, I’m retired” this course will help you become an AAUW Work Smart advocate. You can help others by sharing our mission for Pay Equity and Closing the Gender Pay Gap with relatives, friends and colleagues.

2019 AAUW Colorado Springs Branch Names Honored Recipients
The Names Honored award is an opportunity for the organization to recognize outstanding Branch members. We have many active members who bring their time and talent to fulfilling the AAUW mission and for that we extend a big thank you. Your continuing commitment makes our organization successful and rewarding. As in the past with so many wonderful, accomplished women in our organization, we couldn’t narrow our selection down to just one, so again this year we’re honoring 2 outstanding women – Paula Munger and Nedra Engelson.
