Join Now

The AAUW Tar Heel branch formed in the fall of 2008 to provide the benefits of an AAUW community to those in North Carolina who wanted more than an at-large membership in the national organization, but did not choose to join any of the community-based branches. (If you haven’t yet explored the community-based branch option, please see map with NC branch locations or use the locate branch by zip code.)

In addition to the national benefits, branch membership includes:

• Access to advocacy information about what’s going on in Raleigh, not just DC
• Opportunity to support AAUW NC mini-grants and to apply for those grants
• Opportunity to support AAUW NC’s coalition partners
• All AAUW NC publications
• Access to the member section of the AAUW NC web site (contact us for the user name/password information)
• Access to the branch roster through the www.aauw.org Member Services Database
• Information from nearby community-based branches on special events and projects

If you are ready to join, please use the form in the brochure or complete this two-step online process.

AAUW members may join more than one branch, but pay national and state dues only once. For 2009-2010, AAUW dues are $49, AAUW NC dues are $11.00, and the Tar Heel Branch dues are $5.00. The branch dues year is July 1 to June 30.

STEP 1: Complete the online information form.

STEP 2: The branch charges $0 for current student affiliates in NC, current representatives of college/university partner institutions in NC, and 50-year members of AAUW. Others are asked to pay dues/fees to the branch in the following amounts. Click the amount to pay online with a credit card or PayPal account. If you prefer to send a check, make it payable to “AAUW Tar Heel Branch” and send it to our contact address.
