AAUW Visalia-Sequoia Branch

AAUW Visalia-Sequoia Branch was organized in 1926 and incorporated in 1950. (see our Branch history) With approximately 150 members, our branch events and general meetings focus on current educational issues, women's health, women's history, local, state, and international issues. We have a wide variety of interest groups that meet monthly or more frequently. By becoming involved with our branch, you can mix fun with purpose, while advancing the mission of our organization.
