AAUW Wisconsin, working to advance equity for women and girls since 1921!

Welcome to AAUW- Wisconsin!

Our work to advance equity through championing higher education is quite a struggle these days. Check the headlines. We aren’t afraid of tough times. We were made to rise to challenge. We know we have the focus, talent and know how to make a difference.

When you join AAUW, you are not just a member, you also belong. We are part of each other’s support network. We are non-partisan; however, we are political and fight for the policies we believe in. AAUW code of ethics calls us to treat others with respect and dignity, free from discrimination, harassment or disrespectful behavior. We work to listen, promote fact-based information, and serve as a voice of reason. Our branches and annual convention offer high quality mission-based programming to engage our members and communities. We raise many thousands of dollars annually to fund scholarships, student workshops, and support initiatives. It’s a great organization full of delightful, talented and bright people.

Join us and one of our 22 Branches throughout our State or perhaps you are interested in joining our upcoming Wisconsin Badger Virtual Branch. We have work to do!

Wishing you growth and success in the year ahead and equity for all our sisters,

Deb Thiel
AAUW-Wisconsin State President
