Happy Women's Equality Day!
Welcome back to another AAUW Daytona year! I hope you will be able to attend our Salad Lunch   SATURDAY,

It is a great chance to reconnect with friends, introduce others to AAUW, learn more about the events your committee has planned and volunteer to help with one of our projects!

Thank you for your willingness to support our group.  

We have some unique and interesting meetings coming this year.  I would like to invite any member who is willing to put a meeting and topic together, to let me know, and I will help to see it happen.

We want to hear about your summer and plan for the year.  Please bring a salad or dessert to share. A $10 donation to our scholarship fund or to Tech Trek would be most appreciated.

Help AAUW Keep the Work Smart Grant

We need to reach our goal of training 100,000 women online by August 23rd – this is the deadline to help us renew a very generous grant that AAUW received from the Coca Cola Foundation. Right now we are at about 75,000 trained. Please sign up, and then share this message as widely as possible.
The link is here:   Work Smart Online
Benefits of taking the Work Smart Online course:
  • Improve your negotiation skills – not just for salary but for ALL kinds of negotiations!
  • Learn about the pay gap and hone your skills as an advocate for pay equity
Raise awareness about AAUW’s important work by articulating why negotiation is so important:
  • AAUW’s research on the gender pay gap shows that, one year out of college, women are already paid significantly less than men.
  • Women who work full time take home 80 cents for every dollar a full-time male worker is paid. And over a lifetime, those lost potential earnings add up.
The average woman will lose between $400,000 to $1 million over her lifetime due to the pay gap.
Women who are retired also negotiation in many aspects of their lives. The same skills will help them as well.
Let’s empower women so that they can get what they deserve!
