Poughkeepsie Branch AAUW, Inc
Woman of the Year
On November 12, 1975 the Poughkeepsie Branch held a dinner at the Vassar Alumni House to commemorate the International Women’s Year and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of our branch. Eight women were honored for outstanding service to the residents of Dutchess County. Since 1978, with a few exceptions, the Poughkeepsie Branch AAUW has selected a local woman to honor as our Woman of the Year. These women exemplify the goals stated in AAUW’s mission statement:
The American Association of University Women advances equity
for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy,
