Membership Eligibility

 

An individual holding an associate’s (or equivalent, e.g., RN), bachelor’s,  or higher degree from a U.S. “Accredited Higher Education institution”  or other qualified educational institution located outside the U.S., as determined by the AAUW Board of Directors, is eligible for AAUW membership.  Membership is granted upon payment of AAUW dues.

 

In principle and in practice, AAUW values and seeks a diverse membership. There shall be no barriers to full participation in this organization based on gender, race, creed, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or class.

 

Types of individual memberships:

• Regular Membership: Renewable annually

• Life Membership

  • Paid: An individual member can become a Life Member upon a one-time payment of 20 years’ annual AAUW dues. Thereafter, they are exempt from payment of AAUW national dues.

  • 50-year Honorary:  An individual who has paid AAUW dues for 50 years shall become an Honorary Life Member and is thereafter exempt from payment of National, State (FL), & Vero Beach branch dues.

• Dual membership – i.e., in more than one branch/state.

 

2023-2024 Dues and Renewals

 

2023-2024 annual dues for new and renewing regular branch members are $114 of which $94 is tax deductible:

• $72 for National membership ($69 tax deductible)

• $12 for Florida State membership

• $25 for Vero Beach Branch membership ($25 tax deductible)

• $ 5 for the Branch Handbook

The Shape the Future membership program offers a discounted rate to prospective members. With this campaign, new members pay just 50 percent of the National dues rate when they join AAUW at a public event.  The payment must be made during the event and with either cash or check only – a credit card cannot be used.

 

Renewing your membership:    AAUW National has changed the membership renewal process for 2023-24 and that will change our process here in the branch, too.  Instead of submitting a check or renewing here on our AAUW Vero Beach website, you will now renew National, State and Branch dues directly on the AAUW National website.

 

Renewals are due annually.  For most of our members, the renewal date is in June, but for newer members who joined after May 2022, your renewal is based on the date you joined. 

 

Members will receive ample notice to renew prior to their membership expiration date and will be directed to National’s website to complete their renewal and payment.   If you don’t have a computer or don’t feel comfortable renewing online, please contact Kathy Martin (772-617-2606) or Carole Strauss (772-532-4712) when you get the renewal notice and we’ll help you.

More information on the details of this new process will be communicated to all branch members after April 1st.  Questions? Please contact Kathy or Carole.
