She is a sought-after speaker on gender equity and advocacy issues and is a frequent speaker on Capitol Hill. In addition to pay equity, her areas of expertise include gender equity in education and Title IX, retirement security, work-life balance and workplace opportunity, and other civil rights issues related to women and girls.

Post Convention Note about Lisa Maatz: she will blow you away with her passion for AAUW and its issues. She is a powerful force. If you have potential members in mind, especially those who are interested in our Public Policy initiatives, THIS is one meeting they will not want to miss! [personal opinion from your webmaster]

AAUW National Individual Membership dues for fiscal year 2010 are $49; $46 is tax deductible, and $3 is not tax deductible (because it supports the AAUW Action Fund's Section 501(c)(4) Lobby Corps and get-out-the-vote activities). Branch members should pay their $49 national dues plus their branch and state dues through their branch as usual. Individual members (members-at-large) should pay their full national dues ($49) to AAUW as usual. [as of April 1, 2009]
AAUW National Student Affiliate fee for fiscal year 2010 is $17; $16 is tax deductible, and $1 is not tax deductible (because it supports the AAUW Action Fund's Section 501(c)(4) Lobby Corps and get-out-the-vote activities).

New C/U Initiative October, 2008:
Undergraduate students of each College/University member of AAUW can now belong to AAUW! for FREE! and upon graduation, 1-year free membership via "Give a Grad a Gift" Program. Also, check out the Campus Action Project initiative — AAUW awards grants of up to $5,000 to campus teams made up of students and faculty or administrators to implement projects on campus addressing a range of issues to promote equity.


	AAUW advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education and research. By June, 2009: Indiana AAUW [Association combined with Educational Foundation] will be a unified 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Membership dues will be considered membership donations. Lobbying-support donations will continue to be 501(c)(4) and not tax deductible.
AAUW's Legal Advocacy Fund provides funding and a support system for women seeking judicial redress for sex discrimination in higher education. LAF, established in 1981, is the largest legal fund focused solely on this objective. Note: after 2009 and current funding support, LAF is changing to an amicus curiae and other non-financial support and is expanding from just the campus to workplace discrimination as well.
Vision: AAUW will be a powerful advocate and visible leader in equity and education through research, philanthropy, and measurable change in critical areas impacting the lives of women and girls.
Value Promise: By joining AAUW, we belong to a community that breaks through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance.
