Adopted at the 2009 AAUW National Convention, the concept of One Member, One Vote moved AAUW national elections beyond a delegate-only process to an every-member opportunity.
Under One Member, One Vote, members can now propose and discuss bylaw changes, resolutions, and Public Policy Program amendments online and “meet” the candidates through biographies, video, and candidate links.
An all-member notification will be sent by e-mail on Thursday, August 5, but many members do not have or use e-mail, or limit their use, so member leaders are urged to provide this information to all branch and state members through each of your various information channels.
In addition to frequent website and other online updates, key information will be available to all members in the Fall, Winter, and Spring/Summer issues of AAUW Outlook as well.
Please log in, https://www.aauw.org/resource/one-member-one-vote/ explore the One Member, One Vote online system, and familiarize yourself with the process. A Frequently Asked Questions document (FAQ) https://www.aauw.org/resource/one-member-one-vote-faq/ is available to assist you.
To access the online system from the AAUW home page, click on Member Center (in the top right corner), log in with your member ID, and then select One Member, One Vote.
As a reminder, members can find their member ID on the AAUW Outlook mailing label or by using the Member ID Lookup link, https://svc.aauw.org/recore/inc/member_id_lookup_wp.asp which is also available from the log-in page of the Member Center.
