President’s Message 2025-2026

Deborah Wechsler

(September 2025)  And it’s fall! Hope you all had a wonderful summer!

Your board has approved the DAW budget for the coming 2025-26 year. Please check your email for an opportunity to view and vote on the budget. The final membership approval will be at our general membership meeting and Brunch on September 20. Looking forward to seeing many of you in person then.

Good news just this morning (Aug 28) the Membership Matters email arrived from AAUW National, including announcement of the Five-Star branches. Our branch achieved five stars for FY 2025, reaching this level again after some time. This shows the commitment and quality of our members’ efforts to produce educational programs and lead advocacy efforts for women and girls.

Congratulations everyone!


(July/August 2025) Summer is passing quickly. I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather! Thanks everyone who attended the Membership Appreciation and Installation event in June. Please see highlights from the event – click here – and I think you will be as impressed as I am with all of the impactful activities with which our branch members are engaged. Attendees were also treated to presentations from several of our Local Scholarship awardees. This and Tech Trek are two key projects where DAW AAUW is making a difference in our local communities.

Within the next couple of weeks, we will be finalizing the DAW budget for the coming 2025-26 year. Please watch your email for an opportunity to view and vote on the budget. The final membership approval will be at our general membership meeting and Brunch on September20. Looking forward to seeing many of you in person then.
