Good communications is vital to the
health of AAUW within your Branch and within New York
State. We have created a number of e-Groups
in the state to process and share information as effectively
and efficiently as possible. Join
any or all to keep yourself and your branch informed!

NYS Communications Director
Communications IS "Sharing the Vision" and "Moving the Mission Forward"
It's communicating with your branch members, your community, and your peers statewide.
It's communicating using all the media available to you - your branch newsletter and roster, your website,
e-mail lists of branch members, an old-fashioned telephone tree, TV spots, radio announcements and call-ins,
plus your local newspapers (don't forget letters to the editor and opinion columns as well as the usual press releases!).
See what our vision is - the fulfillment of our mission - and share it with all!
The technology awards this year were based on the 21st Century application information. Unfortunately, this means that branches who did not submit an application may not have been honored for work they did in this area. However, the branches that did apply demonstrated many new techniques for moving into the 21st century and we applaud them for their efforts! Those branches were –
- Platinum – Amsterdam-Gloversville-Johnstown, Buffalo, New York City, Poughkeepsie, Skaneateles and Westchester
- Gold – Elmira-Corning, Huntington, Islip Area, Kingston and Schenectady
- Silver – Mid-Island
