American Association of University Women Leadership and Training Institute would like to announce the launch of its Campus Action Project for 2006-07 Planning for an Economically-Secure Future.

The Campus Action Project is an opportunity to
Educate
The Campus Action Project is a remarkable opportunity to educate and raise awareness of how workplace equity issues can affect women’s economic security. Those interested in issues of equity and working for change on campus and beyond should apply! Teams will work in conjunction with AAUW staff in the Leadership and Training Institute and each team will partner with a local AAUW branch member who will serve as a community advisor.
Advocate
Women continue to earn only 77 cents on the dollar compared to their male counterparts. In recognition of this disparity, Equal Pay Day will be celebrated on April 24, 2007. All participating teams will take part in commemorating Equal Pay Day on their campus. Activities will be coordinated by AAUW.
Participate
AAUW will also provide financial support for each team to send one representative to showcase their project at either the National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL) in Washington, D.C. in June 2007 or the AAUW National Convention in Phoenix, AZ in July 2007.
