AAUW sets goals for New Year

Frontiers in Education and Health is the theme chosen by members of American Association of University Women when they met recently to make plans for the new year, which begins July 1.

The goals they set are to promote mental health awareness, to explore options for continuing education and to discover opportunities for women in unconventional fields. Program Vice-Presidents, Anita Pritchard and Kathy Murguia will plan programs to advance these goals.

President Laura Amstead conducted the meeting and reviewed AAUW's participation in local scholarship awards and Tech Trek, which encourages girls in math and science. She welcomed suggestions for changes and improvements in all aspects of AAUW activity.
