Branch Leadership Playbooks

AAUW of Michigan is producing a series of branch leadership playbooks to assist branch officers and the collaborative teams they assemble, both formal and informal, to assist in performing their responsibilities. These playbooks are designed to be scalable for use by small, medium, and large branches. We hope the playbooks will help branches recruit new officers by making the jobs appear manageable, satisfying, and occasionally even fun. We welcome suggestions for updates and additions to future versions of the playbooks. Please send comments to .

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Toolkit

The AAUW Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) resources in the DEI Toolkit aim to identify best practices for promoting diversity, equity and inclusion within AAUW. These resources present guidelines for how AAUW branches, national members, student members and individual members can demonstrate an understanding of AAUW’s mission, values, goals and strategic plan. It is meant to start the inclusion conversation. We encourage all members to seek ways to incorporate inclusive practices into their branches and daily life.
