AAUW offers unique opportunities for personal and professional growth, community leadership, and friendships. Tehachapi Mountain Branch is looking toward a goal of 100 members. Because each new member brings a new dimension to the group, the organization encourages every member of the Branch to recruit at least one new member this year. However, it is not enough to sign up a new person. Members must be encouraged to become active, supporting, and contributing. For those who prefer a less active role, Tehachapi Mountain Branch expresses appreciation for their renewed membership and support of the organization’s efforts.
