AAUW Doylestown Branch was organized in 1958
... Our charter was granted on May 20, 1958 with a membership of sixteen. Branch membership has now grown to 100+ members.

This branch of AAUW has long tradition of attempting to solve educational issues for women and girls. For example, in the early 1970's it was a group of Doylestown Branch members who founded 'Aid for Girls', the organization that later became 'Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Bucks County'.

Branch meetings are usually held on the first Wednesday evening of each month at Heritage Towers, Veteran's Lane, Doylestown.

Meetings begin with a half-hour informal social gathering at 7 p.m. and will conclude at 9 p.m. Occasionally meeting dates, times and places are changed.
