AAUW National dues for both branch members and members-at-large (MALs) for FY 2010 will remain at $49. This was approved by the AAUW Board of Directors at their October 2008 meeting. (See note below.*)
Beginning April 1, 2009, of the $49 AAUW national individual member dues, $46 is tax deductible, payable to “AAUW,” our 501(c)(3) charitable organization; $3 goes to support your AAUW Lobby Corps and election-related activities and are not tax deductible. However, you should still pay the dues in one payment, to “AAUW,” for the full $49 amount. Student Affiliate dues will continue to be $17, $16 of which will be tax deductible for the same reason.
*Delegates at the 2003 AAUW Convention gave approval to raise dues by $2/year for FY05-10, and directed the FY09 AAUW Executive Committee to review whether or not the annual fixed amount increase concept shall be continued, consider other options, and make a recommendation to the AAUW Board of Directors. The AAUW Board is very sensitive to the impact raising dues has on membership recruitment and retention, along with the financial impact of the current economy. Due to the operational streamlining that has occurred since 2003 Convention and the additional streamlining with the reorganization, effective July 1, 2009 (FY10), a further dues increase is not needed at this time.

Wisconsin Women and Economic Opportunity
A document called the Wisconsin Women and Economic Opportunity was released earlier this month by the Women's Council and the Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS). It was developed following a report released earlier this year by the Institute for Women's Policy Research on the "Best and Worst State Economies for Women". IWPR urged their research partners in states to develop state specific reports and use them to update information on the economic status of women locally and to spread the word about the national findings of the IWPR report.
