President’s Message

President’s Message By Angela Scarlett

Hi folks,

I have always been astounded by our members’ long-term dedication to the Sacramento branch of AAUW.

We can count among us members who have many decades of membership, years of volunteering for committees and boards, and friendships developed over a lifetime of common purpose. This commitment both inspires me and worries me. As our branch ages, the need for willing and able volunteers to help sustain the branch increases. As president, it is my job to fill quite a few positions for both the board and critical committees.

Right now, our branch has several pressing needs:

  1. Nominating Committee Members. We need to appoint two members to serve with several past presidents. The nominating committee helps develop leadership and recruits people to serve on the board. If you are interested in cultivating leadership for our branch, please consider serving.
  2. A new secretary. Our official secretary, Della Knowles, had a situation come up that meant she could no longer serve in this position. One of our members has been temporarily serving, but we need someone permanently in this position. If you are great at tracking details and taking notes, consider this position.

For either need, you can contact me via my information in the branch directory.

Yours in Service,
Angela Scarlett
