2020 State & Regional Conventions Cancelled

It is with a sad and heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of our 100th annual state convention, as well as the AAUW Regional Convention that was scheduled to take place in June 2020. Due to the spread of the Coronavirus/COVID-19, the CDC and our governor have both called for the cancellation of large gatherings, and we wish to respect this public health recommendation, for the safety of our members.

Thank you to the ladies on the State Convention Planning Committee for all of your efforts. We appreciate the work that you did to plan what surely would have been an outstanding convention.

There is a chance that these events may yet be rescheduled. Our President, Lyn Hildenbrand, will keep members posted of any updates. In the meantime, be safe!
