The branch at the AAUW NC Convention

Here are members of the Tar Heel Branch at the Friday, March 27 banquet celebrating 100 years of AAUW in North Carolina. L to R: Shoemaker, Abell, Schickedantz, Atkinson, Bassoppo-Moyo, Stephens, Bernlohr, Thompson. All are members of the branch and/or the AAUW NC board. All but Bernlohr are dual members of the branch.

Each branch was asked to bring a display representing their branch. This shows where all the Tar Heel Branch members live — from Murphy to Kinston, after only nine months we are serving much of the state. [Here is another version of the map that shows the distribution of primary and dual members.]

Carol is the last regional director who will attend our convention. With the changes to the AAUW bylaws a new volunteer structure (the Leader Corps) will take over some of the duties of the RD. We thank her for her two years of dedicated service to the region.
