AAUW Hill Country Branch
AAUW Hill Country Inc. was organized in 1954 as the Kerrville Branch. It is dedicated to providing information about women’s issues meaningful to our members’ everyday lives. Our branch focus has two components. External activities such as Expanding Your Horizons are organized to inform and support women and girls in our community. Internal activities focus on interest groups that enhance the lives of our members. The branch is a 501(c)3 organization so branch dues and donations are tax deductible.
AAUW Hill Country Branch Objective
The AAUW Hill Country Branch objective is to provide programming of interest to our membership with more member interaction.
