Tech Trek/Gov Trek

Tech Trek Has Trekers!! By Lori Franz

Thanks to the diligent work of our wonderful Tech Trek committee recruiters, Gloria Yost and Kathleen Deaver, the applications for the July UC-Davis camp are starting to arrive.  Gloria and Kathleen have done a great job with contacting principals and teachers, and working with parents to produce completed applications for another quality class of young women with interests in STEM fields.

We have all had to learn the new application and tracking software, CampDoc, and adapt as we have the fun of being first-time users of a newly developed system. Chair Mary Miller has diligently interacted with the state coordinators to keep our process and data responsibilities moving forward.  We are excited to be able to meet the applicants soon.

For those members who would like some limited, but very fun, interaction with the camps and campers, we have been asked to recruit some volunteers to help out during the Davis camp week. Please consider!!

Gov Trek By Charmen Goehring

Gov Trek is AAUW CA’s newest state project. We aim to encourage high school junior and senior girls to consider running for office and/or working on campaigns in the future. This program has been executed over five sessions on Zoom, running every other Saturday. All previous sessions were recorded and can be found on the AAUW CA website.

Please see below for the link to the Gov Trek Finale and Campaign Competition, and attend if you are interested to see what Gov Trek was about.  Times are PST for those of you out of state!!
