By a substantial margin the delegates to the AAUW National Convention voted to amend the proposed bylaws to retain the membership requirements that as stated in in the 2007 bylaws and to add a category of partners to allow organizations with similar missions to join AAUW. The delegates also amended the bylaws to increase the number of elected directors-at-large to ten, and decrease the number of appointed directors-at-large to three. The delegates approved the "one member one vote" proposal that provides every member the right and opportunity to have a personal voice in directing the future of AAUW and its important work to break through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance. The rest of the proposed bylaws were approved substantially as presented in the spring 2009 Outlook. These bylaws take effect on July 1, 2009. Branches may create leadership structures that meet the needs of the branch and each branch will submit designated contacts for administration and finance. Branches may also develop bylaws that meet the needs of the branch as long as they do not conflict with the AAUW bylaws. A branch may be geographically based or may be a virtual online branch that is not tied to a geographic area. All branches will promote the purposes, program and policies of AAUW. Carolyn Garfein was elected AAUW
president, Gail Nordmoe, Vice President, Kathleen Cha, Alicia Hetman, Connie
Hildebrand, Patricia Ho, Jackie Littleton, Betsy McDowell and Linda Tozier were
elected directors-at-large. This newly elected AAUW Board of Directors appointed the
following members to join the board as directors-at-large: Kathy Anton, Marcia Capriotti, Millie Hoffler-Foushee, David Kirkwood, and Krys Wulff.
