Expand your network
Come to the monthly meetings of the Vienna Area Branch of AAUW and get to know writers, designers, lawyers, educators, retired professionals, volunteers, and homemakers—a diverse cross-section of the Vienna/Oakton area. By working on branch projects you will contribute to our community and perhaps make lifelong friendships in the process. 

You also will be part of an influential national organization of 150,000 members, founded in 1881 and recognized for its research and advocacy for education for women and girls. AAUW values and seeks a diverse membership.

Stretch your mind
Vienna Area AAUW offers you continuing education at its monthly meetings. Topics range from globalization and its impact on women, to land use in our local area, to the latest health issues for women. Join one of our literature discussion groups (evening or morning) and engage in a lively debate about a classic or a recent best-seller. Learn about the latest legislative issues and participate in the annual Capitol Hill Day or volunteer as a Lobby Corps member. Attend workshops at the Virginia AAUW annual convention and Northern Virginia District events. Develop your leadership skills through branch volunteer opportunities, and acquire lifelong skills in the process.

Have fun
Vienna Area AAUW provides time for fun and fellowship, too. Gourmet dinners or brunches, held three to four times a year, bring together members, spouses, and guests to share ethnic or regional food and conversation. More informal potluck dinners are held as part of the monthly meetings, once or twice a year. We also gather for a quick bite and conversation at a local restaurant, before our meetings at the library. Local tours are both educational and fun; past tours have included Hillwood Museum and Gardens and George Mason’s home. Film, theatre, and musical evenings are also on the Vienna Area AAUW calendar such as the Theatre of the First Amendment at GMU, the Barns at Wolf Trap, and the Vienna Community Theatre.
