The resolution recognizes the American Association of University Women (AAUW), Central Arkansas Branch, for its longstanding commitment to advancing gender equity for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy. Established in 1922, the Central Arkansas Branch has been a vital presence in the community for over a century, embodying values of nonpartisanship, integrity, inclusion, and intersectionality. The AAUW, founded in 1881, has grown to include over 170,000 members and supporters nationwide, with a focus on addressing critical educational, social, economic, and political issues.
The resolution calls for the House of Representatives of the Ninety-Fifth General Assembly of the State of Arkansas to formally acknowledge the contributions of the Central Arkansas Branch of the AAUW. It emphasizes the organization's mission and vision of promoting equity for all, and it directs that a copy of the resolution be provided to the branch's leaders following its adoption.
