At the AAUW North Carolina 2009 Convention (March 27 in Wilmington), we will be celebrating 100 years of AAUW in North Carolina. This is the first of what we hope will be several posts celebrating our history.

If you have corrections to this list, please send them to info@aauwnc.org or call or FAX 866/525-2155. We are particularly interested in contact information for the women who are marked as “lost” so that we can notify them of the 2009 celebration.
If you have information on the history of your branch, you are welcome to post it here as we collect information on our 100 years of working for equity and education for women and girls.
