Membership Report, June 1, 2008

AAUW NYS membership is 3068. Please check the numbers for your branch on the membership report. If your numbers do not agree, contact the NYS Treasurer as soon as possible to resolve any discrepancies. Keep in mind that the Treasurer only has the information sent from branches through dues transmittals and copies of Records Change Forms. DUAL (in NYS) members and Student Affiliates are counted in the branch total but not counted in the NYS total.

Dues should be forwarded promptly to the Association and NYS Treasurer, ensuring that all members will receive state and national publications.
