Tech Trek Branch Winner Ciera Miller Placed 3rd Statewide

Sacramento Branch Speech Trek winner Ciera Miller earned 3rd place in the statewide competition at the AAUW CA Annual Meeting at the Manhattan Beach Marriott on April 18, taking home another $500 award. Ciera spoke on the state topic of College: Is it worth the time and expense?

Fourteen AAUW branches from around California entered their contest’s winning speaker in the statewide semi-finals. In the finals competition, Sydney Jones from Sonora Branch earned 2nd place, and Emma Harrington from Napa Branch earned 1st place. This marks the fourth time in the eight-year history of Sacramento AAUW’s participation in Speech Trek that the Sacramento Branch winner has gone on to earn placement in the state semi-finals, and the third time our winner has been invited to the three-branch finals competition.

If you would like to hear Ciera speak, she will be a featured speaker at our May Installation Tea on May 16. Congratulations, Ciera!
