Board Committees
There are five appointed standing committees: Programs, Membership, Advocacy/Public Policy, STEM, and College/University Partnerships. These committees contribute to the branch by planning and executing monthly branch meetings, recruiting and retaining members, focusing on current issues that involve local regulations and state and national legislation, providing opportunities to assist girls in considering science, technology, engineering, and math careers, and collaborating with UNCAsheville and AB Tech to help further the mission of AAUW. All committees are open to any member.
