As co-presidents we are thrilled to work with our Napa Branch members and also to continue to develop our AAUW role in the Napa Community.This fall may be not only one of the hottest weather conditions but will also be one of the hottest political climates ever. In the days to come we will need to help eligible voters register and vote. These are not ordinary times and this will not be an ordinary election. But we need to encourage an environment that helps keep democracy strong. Our theme for this year Endurance through Unity is meant to convey a powerful message to pull together our members to unite behind all the great women in our organization. We honor those strong women who not only choose to pull together but also choose to use all their talents to make our community and organization unified. We look forward to a meaningful and productive year as we embrace Endurance through Unity.

Co-Presidents Starr Green and Tege Montmorency
