AAUW Communications

I often hear from members that they get too many emails from AAUW, so they don’t bother to read them. It may sometimes feel like that, even if it’s not true.

To put things in perspective, this is a summary of the regular email communications you can expect to get as a member of the SLO branch. If you do not receive these, let me know so we can investigate why.

You should receive the following emails monthly.

From the branch: I send an email to members (It comes from my personal email address.) when our branch newsletter has been published. It is available to read online at aauwslo.blogspot.com. My email usually highlights some of the articles or dates in the newsletter (to entice you to read it) and contains updates, if any, to member information.

From AAUW CA: AAUW California (siteadmin@aauw-ca.org) sends the state newsletter California Compass. If you don’t read it when you receive it, you can find the current and prior issues posted on the state’s website aauw-ca.org.

From AAUW National: Our national organization sends a newsletter, Mission & Action, to all members and others. (National also sends other specialized newsletters which you can opt out of receiving. This is done in your member profile after logging in on aauw.org. More details in a future newsletter.)

The branch will also send other emails periodically containing topics such as Zoom information for online meetings and important dates or deadlines to know about between newsletters. Evites for branch meetings will also be sent. (Sender name is usually AAUW SLO BRANCH.)

Branch officers/leaders get an additional monthly newsletter, Board to Board (B2B), from AAUW California. It is posted on the AAUW California website for anyone to read. And certain branch officers get additional monthly updates from AAUW National.
