We even used the old spelled out logo as a large backdrop for a televised candidate event in October, because that format worked best in identifying us to the public. I am happy to see that we are "legal" again. We will never be a "brand" like GE or IBM in Vermont, and it is helpful not to be confused in newspaper headlines with four other Vermont organizations that have acronyms starting with "AA". I think that style guide lines are good; but there needs to be some flexibility to let leaders decide what works best locally.

I knew better, and most of you all did too...Even American Association of University WOMEN takes some explaining because some people confuse it with AAUP http://www.aaup.org/aaup and I expect the University Professors run into similar problems (us AND AARP!) Sure it's a mouthful, but...

There is an update regarding the discussion from mid-October about the use of the AAUW acronym. After discussions between the Board and senior management staff, the following decision was reached (this statement was sent to staff from the Director of Publications): AAUWâs recent nonmember survey found that our organizational recognition is maximized with the use of our full name, American Association of University Women. As a result, at the October meeting, the AAUW board directed a policy change in the use of our name.
