AAUW of Utah

We are tenacious and trailblazing — advocating for women and girls since 1881 and into the future!

American Association of University Women : Our Mission

Gender Equity & Economic Security

AAUW of Utah was founded in April 1981 to promote and empower women and girls throughout Utah. We are part of a national organization that has worked to advance gender equity through advocacy, research, and education since 1881; and we support 3 branches in Utah that are working on the local level for women and girls.

Statewide, we focus on:

  • Getting women elected to public office by working with Utah Women Run.
  • Passing the Equal Rights Amendment by working with the ERA Coalition.
  • Conversations with Utah legislators at the annual Legislative Forum.
  • Creating more diversity in our membership through collaboration with NAACP.
  • Voter registration by working with League of Women Voters.
  • Salary negotiations through Work Smart programs.
  • Using AAUW’s Two Minute Activist tools.
