Branch Leadership Playbooks

AAUW of Michigan is producing a series of branch leadership playbooks to assist branch officers and the collaborative teams they assemble, both formal and informal, to assist in performing their responsibilities. These playbooks are designed to be scalable for use by small, medium, and large branches. We hope the playbooks will help branches recruit new officers by making the jobs appear manageable, satisfying, and occasionally even fun. We welcome suggestions for updates and additions to future versions of the playbooks. Please send comments to .

Community Connection

Welcome to the Community Connection, a place to view our e-blasts from your state organization. We promise to keep theCommunity Connection short, timely, and geared toward our members (that’s YOU) with what YOU might want to know or do to be an active AAUW member.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Toolkit

The AAUW Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) resources in the DEI Toolkit aim to identify best practices for promoting diversity, equity and inclusion within AAUW. These resources present guidelines for how AAUW branches, national members, student members and individual members can demonstrate an understanding of AAUW’s mission, values, goals and strategic plan. It is meant to start the inclusion conversation. We encourage all members to seek ways to incorporate inclusive practices into their branches and daily life.

AAUW of Michigan
The Institute for Women's Policy Research has released a new fact sheet with disturbing statistics. For the second year in a row, the gender wage gap has grown. The organization finds that women working full-time year-round in 2024 made 80.9 cents per dollar earned by men (a wage gap of 19.1 percent) compared to 82.7 centsper dollar in 2023 (a wage gap of 17.3 percent). This is the biggest annual drop in the gender earnings ratio since 1966, and the worst ratio since 2016. The economy was humming along in 2024, and men on average did just fine, earning on average 3.7% more than in 2023. Women's wages on average rose just 1.5% from 2023 to 2024. The intersection of gender with race and color continued to result in significantly lower wages for Women of Color, who continued to earn far less on average than White women.Find these stats and more in the full 10 page Fact Sheet: iwpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/National-Wage-Gap-Fact-Sheet-#genderwagegapd#genderinequalityi#equalpayforwomena#genderpaygapnderPayGap ...
