Nationally, AAUW has many programs and resources with an international focus. One is the “Women in the World” International Affairs Committee Reading List. This list of suggested books is an introduction to the stories and experiences of women around the globe. Another resource is One Shared World, a partner which connects American women to the many public and private efforts that help people in developing countries overcome poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease. For links to these items and a complete list of international resources from AAUW, go to www.aauw.org/international_corner.

AAUW has many ways for women to learn more about what is going on in the world and to get involved, both on the local and national level. Locally, our branch has two interest groups which focus on becoming more informed citizens of the world: International Relations and Great Decisions. A great year of stimulating discussions.

Great Decisions is the local chapter of the Foreign Policy Association and is a fascinating discussion group of AAUW. Every year the Foreign Policy Association publishes a study book of eight articles and also videos containing interviews. These are available at the end of January. Our discussion sessions meet every week starting the first week in February.
