Mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 17th.  Whew – we work hard!  This year, on average, women have to work until 4-17-2012 to earn the same salary that men earn in the 2011 calendar year.  What are you going to do as individuals and/or as a branch to bring attention to this inequity?  Wear red?  Host an event?  Put together a flash mob (check out the video of AAUW flash mob 2011 to a medley of tunes, including, “Nine to Five,” “Respect” and “She Works Hard for the Money”  on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.)  And remember, you can connect with your congressmen and legislators, who are available year round to hear their constituents’ concerns about pay equity and other issues of concern to AAUW members.

Check out the AAUW Pay Equity Resource Kit available on the website at www.aauw.org  …. there’s still time to bring attention to this inequity.  Be part of the awareness that will keep our drive towards pay equity in the forefront.
