Threats: What are the advantages competitors have over AAUW?

10. STRATEGIC PLAN PILLARS

ECONOMIC SECURITY

GOVERNANCE & SUSTAINABILITY
The key is interrelationship: Education & Training leads directly into our Economic Security, leading right into Leadership. And all three require good Governance & Sustainability.

Train 10 million women in salary negotiations by 2022
Goal B: Create inclusive career pathways for women, free of systemic barriers and biases, to attain economic security.
Goal C: Deepen women’s retirement security and quality of life.

13. GOVERNANCE & SUSTAINABILITY
Goal A: Implement best practices in governance, inclusion, and organizational functioning.
Goal B: Enhance financial sustainability by increasing and diversifying revenue.

14. LEADERSHIP
Goal A: Bolster the participation of girls and women in leadership roles throughout their lives.
Goal B: Advance the number of women in leadership, particularly in education and non-profit organizations.

15. IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN Can’t take on every goal at the same time
Won’t ignore other pillars but won’t take on efforts that we can’t afford or don’t have the capacity to accomplish
Already focusing on some of the Economic Security goals, including work to train 10 million women in salary negotiation by 2022.
Want each state/branch to help reach that goal
Why StartSmart/WorkSmart? Unique AAUW niche.

40% contributions (members, non-member supporters, corporations, foundations, planned gifts, etc.)
41% investment income
4% income from StartSmart/WorkSmart licenses, NCCWSL, and Shop AAUW
2% rent from leasing out some of the offices on AAUW’s 3 floors
