A Year of Progress and Possibilities

A message from CEO, Kim Churches

I am pleased to share this special year-end edition of AAUW’s online magazine Outlook, which highlights our 2018 accomplishments and exciting plans for the future. As noted in the introductory article, board chair Julia Brown and I couldn’t be more proud to be leading an organization committed to achieving gender equity at this pivotal moment in history.

AAUW is working on many fronts to ensure economic security for women and their families. We’re advancing laws to narrow the pay gap. We’re teaming up with employers to ensure their practices align with the modern workforce. And we’ve expanded our Work Smart program to train 10 million women in salary negotiation skills.

I hope you enjoy perusing the issue, which goes into greater depth on the important work AAUW is doing on behalf of women and girls. With so many successes behind us, and a gathering energy driving us forward, the outlook for 2019 is promising indeed.
