Our Mission:  The members of the Patuxent River Branch of the AAUW strive to expose and eliminate social, political and economic discrimmination that limits women and others in our community by:

   

- Supporting equity in everyday life for women and girls

 

- Communicating AAUW supported issues and causes to our community

 

- Encouraging girls and women to pursue higher education and challenging careers

 

The Patuxent River Branch of the AAUW was chartered in 2006 as a merger of the Charles County. St. Mary's City, and Calvert County branches.  We plan programs for personal growth and work to help women pursue higher education and leadership development.
