2026 is a Big Year for AAUW of Colorado!
In 2026, AAUW of Colorado will proudly celebrate 100 years of empowering women and girls across our state. For a century, our members have advanced equity through advocacy, education, research, and community engagement—work that continues to shape opportunities for future generations.
To honor this remarkable milestone, we have created a special centennial logo that reflects both our legacy and our forward-looking vision. This commemorative design symbolizes the strength, resilience, and leadership of Colorado women whose voices and efforts have driven AAUW’s mission since 1926.
State and branch members will begin seeing this centennial logo as we approach 2026, and it will be featured throughout our yearlong celebration of AAUW of Colorado’s history. All branches are encouraged also to use this logo as we celebrate our 100 years of service to AAUW and to Colorado.
Here is our 100th Anniversary Logo…

ACTION ALERT FROM AAUW NATIONAL REGARDING THE SAVE ACT!
Members of Congress have introduced the extreme anti-voting Safeguard American Vote Eligibility (SAVE) Act. This bill would hinder millions of Americans from registering to vote by requiring citizens to present a birth certificate or passport in person to vote. Click here for more information on this dangerous bill. The House has already voted to approve this Act, and the Senate vote is forthcoming. We are asking you to contact your U.S Senators to oppose the SAVE act.
