American Association of University Women Orlando-Winter Park Branch

American Association Of University Women

The 1928-1978 50th anniversary yearbook of the American Association of University Women, Orlando – Winter Park Florida Branch states: “Fifty years ago, Mrs. Edgar Hyatt, a charming and accomplished Orlando lady, invited eight key women of vision and ideals to her home to discuss organizing a Branch of the American Association of University Women. Eighteen ladies formed the branch of the Orlando-Winter Park Branch, AAUW. The Charter was granted in May, 1928.”

The yearbooks state the association’s purpose:

The purpose of this Branch is to unite the alumnae of AAUW-approved colleges and universities for practical educational work, to concentrate and increase their influence in the community for the solution of social and civic problems, to participate in the development and promotion of the policies and programs of the American Association of University Women, to contribute to its growth and influence, and to cooperate in its state and regional work.
