AAUW Convention: A Home Run

After months (read, "years") of discussion, planning, deliberation, and sleepless nights, the 2008 AAUW TX Convention was held this past weekend and (to use a sports analogy) we scored a home run!

We celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Dallas and Fort Worth branches; we recognized the 2008 class of AAUW TX Women of Distinction; we heard from speakers who shared their insights, experience, trials and triumphs; we networked; we celebrated the formation of a new branch; we elected new officers; we laughed and had fun; and we renewed our commitment to the mission of AAUW.

It has been a joy and a labor of love for me to serve as President of AAUW TX the past two years and it is comforting to me that the incoming Executive Committee will continue to ensure that AAUW is alive and well in Texas!

Thanks to the members of my Board and congratulations and best wishes to the 2008 - 2010 Board!
