April Program
Autism Awareness Month
Our next meeting for Autism Awareness Month will feature Jen Can.
Jen has been an autism sibling for 30 years. She’s spent the past 20 years in education, with over ten years as a Special Education teacher. Now, she’s a Behavior Specialist and widely recognized speaker for autism awareness and acceptance. She’s also an autism momma! (She’s also one of Patty Wyman’s favorite students!)
Her unique blend of real life and professional experience gives her a special perspective on the autism community. You may think you know about autism but you will learn so much more. Join us! Bring a friend!

Co-Presidents Message for 2024-25
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
