National AAUW Guidance on Meetings

Kim Churches, CEO of AAUW National has issued this statement:

"You MUST follow your Governor’s and Mayor’s guidance. We at National have strongly advised absolutely NO meetings in person for the foreseeable future for all affiliates (branches/states), and in compliance with local/state guidance/orders. Our state/local laws supersede in this exceedingly difficult time. Better for all AAUW members to absolutely shelter in place and meet virtually via Skype, FaceTime, Zoom, or conference calls."

In response, the Co-Presidents of AAUW California, Cathy Foxhoven and Jane Niemeier, wrote:

"We fully endorse this. Branches must not have any in-person meetings until Governor Newsom lifts the "Stay-at-Home" order. That includes interest group meetings. No branch should sanction any meetings of any group within the branch."
