As we embrace the arrival of spring, a season synonymous with renewal and growth, we reflect on our ongoing commitment to advancing gender equity within our community. Our collective efforts continue to drive meaningful change, and I am grateful for your unwavering dedication.
Our branch has been vibrant with activities that foster learning, connection and advocacy, including, but not limited to, the following:
- May 1st Girls Recognition Night at 6:30 pm at Nurture Nature Center
- May 21st Scholarship and Awards Ceremony at 7:00 pm at the First Presbyterian Church of Easton on Spring Garden Street
Our nominating committee worked hard to present a slate of officers. Phyllis Finger and Christina McFadden have agreed to act as Co-Presidents and Becky Goldenberg has agreed to serve as the Finance Officer. Thank you to the committee and our incoming officers.
In 2025, Equal Pay Day falls on March 25, marking how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year, signifying the persistent gender wage gap. Unequal pay is a global issue with slow progress, emphasizing the importance of Equal Pay Day in advocating for change and combating workplace sexism.
As we move forward, let’s continue to embody the spirit of collaboration and empowerment. Our collective actions, whether through attending events, participating in discussions, or engaging in advocacy, contribute to a more equitable future.
Warm regards,
Lisa Spitale
Co-President, AAUW Easton Branch
“Men have to demand that their wives, daughters, mothers and sisters earn more—commensurate with their qualifications and not their gender. Equality will be achieved when men and women are granted equal pay and equal respect.” – Beyoncé
