Jane Cooley & her granddaughter (and fellow AAUW member) Tiffany Ardisana

Jane Cooley is a past president of our branch and the current Sunshine chairperson. She received her BA in business from California State University, Sacramento while caring for her five children and working in an insurance office. This was a bit of a departure from her former Air Force career, where she was the only woman in the weather reconnaissance group at McClellan and Malestrom Air Force Bases. Her husband’s Air Force career took them to England, Seattle, and mostly Texas.

Jane’s favorite AAUW experience was attending national conferences and feeling the electricity of intelligent women interacting. She has been public policy chair, secretary, president, and currently sunshine chair in the Concord and Sacramento branches. She currently participates in Healthy Heart Dinner group, Great Decisions, and a book group.

Jane’s current mission in AAUW is sending cards to members and their spouses who are sick or to the families when our members die. She can’t do this without your help, as she doesn’t know every one of our members. Please either call her at (916) 483-0302 or email her at Janecooley1@gmail.com so we can let our membership know that we care. We appreciate Jane and you — our members — for keeping her informed.
