In 2023-24 Port Townsend AAUW is recognizing women of the global majority who live and work locally and add to our rich community culture.  This effort is led by our Mission Projects group. News of the “woman of the month” is proudly publicized in the hope that such acknowledgement enhances their efforts to support women’s diversity and equity. If you would like to learn more about our missions and Diversity/Equity/Inclusion work, or if you would like to participate in any way, please contact us at projects@aauwpt.org.
