Membership Interest Groups
AAUW FOCUS GROUPS
Focus groups provide a venue for AAUW members to meet, socialize, and participate in activities of mutual interest. All Duluth Branch members are welcome to join any of the following groups at any time. For more information, contact the group’s chairperson.
Guest Policy:
Inviting guests to Focus Groups is encouraged as an effective way to generate interest and recruit new members. To discourage long-term, non-member participation, each guest will be limited to two visits. Focus Group Chairs should contact the Membership Committee with the names of interested guests so they can be personally invited to join.
