Work Smart

- Improve your negotiation skills – not just for salary but for ALL kinds of negotiations!
- Learn about the pay gap and hone your skills as an advocate for pay equity
- Raise awareness about AAUW’s important work by articulating why negotiation is so important:
- AAUW’s research on the gender pay gap shows that, one year out of college, women are already paid significantly less than men.
- Women who work full time take home 80 cents for every dollar a full-time male worker is paid. And over a lifetime, those lost potential earnings add up.

AAUW’s Mission
AAUW advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research.
AAUW’s Value Promise
By joining AAUW, you belong to a community that breaks through educational and economic barriers so that all women and girls have a fair chance.
The words “it’s a girl!” radiate excitement about a world of possibilities ahead — but as we see in this video, a little girl’s dreams are often limited by the words “if” and “only.”
AAUW works to change the climate for women and girls!
