Welcome to the Owatonna, MN Branch of AAUW!

Program Planning is wrapping up!

Watch for details on the kick-off meeting, but here’s a preview:

Kickoff the AAUW Year on Monday, August 26th from 11 AM – 2 PM in the Gainey Room of the Owatonna Public Library.  Bring your lunch to this brown-bag session featuring Dave Purscell (Owatonna IT Director) and Jennifer Mueller (Election Overseer).  You can imagine the kind of issues these two speakers can share on election integrity!

Membership voting concluded and did NOT pass on AAUW Bylaws Change to open eligibility to remove degree requirements for membership.  Thanks to all who took the time to vote.  Per the AAUW Election page:

  • The open membership initiative did not pass. Changes to AAUW’s bylaws require 2/3 majority (66.6%) to pass. AAUW members voted 65.1% to approve the measure, just shy of passing.
