Welcome to Fond du Lac branch

Welcome from the President

Dear Friends and Visitors,

On behalf of the Fond du Lac branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW), I warmly welcome you to our website. Since our founding in 1922, our dedicated members have been working to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research in our community.

Our Mission and Focus

At a time when education access is increasingly under threat, AAUW Fond du Lac remains committed to our core mission: championing success in higher education as a vital pathway to economic security for women. For over a century, we have been part of AAUW’s powerful movement to break down barriers for women in education and beyond.

As we align with AAUW’s renewed strategic priorities, our branch is focusing on:

  1. Supporting higher education through scholarships and grants for women in our community
  2. Advocating for policies that remove barriers to success in education and the workplace
  3. Strengthening our community impact through local programs and initiatives

Join Our Movement

The strength of AAUW lies in our collective power. Our branch provides meaningful local support for women and girls, and advocates for policies that matter to our community. Whether you’re considering membership, seeking information about our programs, or simply curious about our work, we invite you to explore how you can become a changemaker with us.

While our annual book sale has transitioned to new leadership (see our Book Sale tab for details), we continue to develop impactful community programs and fundraising initiatives that support our mission.

Get Involved

I invite you to explore our website to learn about our upcoming events, ongoing projects, and the many ways you can engage with our work. Together, we can continue AAUW’s 140+ year legacy of fighting for gender equity and creating pathways to opportunity through education.

Thank you for your interest in AAUW Fond du Lac. We look forward to working alongside you to advance equity and opportunity for all women and girls.

Warmly,

Fanny Behrens
President, AAUW Fond du Lac Branch
