AAUW Atlanta Affiliate History 

The AAUW Atlanta Affiliate celebrated its 100th anniversary on March 5, 2005. Our Affiliate was organized as a unit of the Southern Association of College Women (SACW), founded at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in July 1903. The Atlanta Affiliate organizers had been unsuccessful at becoming an affiliate of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae (ACA), founded in 1881. In 1921, ACA and SACW were united, the name was changed to the American Association of University Women, and Atlanta became a member of the new Association. 

From the beginning, the work of the AAUW Atlanta Affiliate has centered on projects promoting either social welfare or education, in addition to regular contributions to the Educational Foundation, the Legal Advocacy Fund, and funding of local scholarships.
