AAUW National Election Results

Patricia Fae Ho has been re-elected as President and Board Chair.  Many of you remember Patricia who has attended two previous AAUW of Georgia annual meetings and has been very supportive of our work in Georgia.  Joining her on the Board are Alicia Hetman as Vice Chair and Janet Bunger has been appointed as Board Finance Vice-Chair.
Elected directors include Susan Barley, Malinda Gaul, Ellie Hill, Traci Jensen, Melissa Johnsen, Dot McLane, Rebecca Norlander, Glenda Price, and Pam Thiel.  Two directors were appointed:  Joanna Amberger and Anthony Hill.  Information about these people was published in the Spring/Summer2015  edition of AAUW Outlook.

Only one of the proposed AAUW Bylaws changes was defeated, the one eliminating degree requirements for membership.  The four Public Policy topics were also passed.  Please see the AAUW website for more information.

Remembering that all AAUW members are eligible to vote for candidates and other business items, it is disheartening that only 12% of national membership voted at all.  This percentage exceeds the 5% minimum quorum required by national bylaws.  So we certainly have work to do in this area before the 2017 election.
