Membership

     The North Hills-McKnight Branch of AAUW invites all qualified persons to visit a branch meeting and to join our branch. Membership in AAUW is open to all graduates with an Associates or equivalent degree or higher degree from an accredited college or University. Membership is not by invitation. We value a diverse membership. There shall be no barriers to full participation on the basis of gender, race, creed, age, sexual orientation, national origin or disability.

     The North Hills Branch offers personal development through being active in national and local issues, friendships with like-minded people and the opportunity to join with others to make a difference. By linking to the AAUW State and National organizations, we join a large AAUW membership to work in pursuit of education and equity for all women and girls. To quote President, Carolyn H. Garfein, "AAUW is the nation's leading voice promoting education and equity for women".

     When you join AAUW, you join the largest and oldest (founded in 1881) national organization for women. Our North Hills-McKnight Branch dues are $70.00 per year, which includes membership in the National AAUW Association, PA AAUW and the local branch. We have a large Board of Directors that insures the members representation so that Branch plans and concerns will benefit the entire branch.

     Members receive a monthly Branch newsletter and the PA State Publication, Keystoner, 4 issues per year. The National Organization mails the publication In Action to each member.
