AAUW-NM Co-Presidents’ 2008-09 Goals         July 19, 2008
    _______________________________________________________________________

•    Make “Get Out the Vote” a major fall activity by asking every branch to have at least one program or activity directly related to the election.  Possible activities include holding a Candidates Forum, campus or community voter registration drive or activity to ensure that every mentally healthy branch member votes. 

•    Encourage every branch to make mission-based programming their top programming priority, by asking every branch to have not less than four mission-based programs or activities. 

Examples include sponsoring or co-sponsoring programs for girls, such as EYH, Girl’s Can, and Careers & Curiosity, fund-raising for EF/LAF and/or local scholarships, “Get Out the Vote” related activities, lobbying for AAUW and AAUW-NM public policy issues, women’s history programs, programs related to any of the EF research topics, such as pay equity, sexual harassment, improving education for women and girls and international women’s issues. 

•    Actively encourage branch and statewide membership growth through the Member-Get-A-Member and Give-A-Grad-A-Gift campaigns with focus on branch and student-affiliate membership including men, visibility and one-on-one contact with new members, support to branch officers, and support of the AAUW Value Promise with a goal of 550 AAUW-NM members.

•    Sustain the Educational Foundation including the Legal Advocacy Fund, and increase to not less than $80,000 the total in the Corrine Wolfe International Endowment by Dec. 31, 2008.  Give $2,500 to LAF and $500 to EF unrestricted.

•    Promote continued excellent statewide member communication utilizing email, the Roadrunner, AAUW-NM web site, open Leadership Team meetings and participation in state, regional and association activities. Begin electronic distribution of the Roadrunner with the spring 2009 issue (or earlier, if possible).

•    Vigorously support the successful AAUW-NM Lobby Corps with targeted funding, continued visibility and increased member participation.

•    Support in every way possible the changes taking place in the Association and Educational Foundation and effectively communicate these changes to members and branches.  Encourage attendance at the Association convention June 26-28, 2009 in St. Louis.

•    Maintain continued financial strength through responsible budgeting, vigilance, conservative fiscal practice and timely payment of bills and reimbursement of officers.
