In addition, there are many avenues for getting information about AAUW out to the public. Attached here are three poster templates, plus instructions for using them.

• Instructions for using the posters
• "Health Club" poster utilizing a text box.
• "Health Club" poster using plain text.
• A sample event poster., suitable for almost any branch activity.

Also available are suggestions for news releases and other media tools:

• Press kits on some current issues from the Association.
• News release template for hard-copy submissions courtesy of North Shore's Florence Hess.
• News release template for e-mail submissions.

Many times branches wish to honor a member or another citizen in the community who shares our mission and has contributed in some way. A sample Word template for a certificate is attached here. It is a "form" - just fill in the spaces and they will expand to fit your text. If you wish to modify the form, just click on "Tools", "Unprotect Document". The document will then be completely accessible.
