AAUW Chico will honor four local women for their remarkable contributions in our corner of the world.

They are leaders, women with powerful voices in our community, and are passionate about what they do. We want to take note of their many accomplishments and to honor them for the service they have given.
We want to encourage all members to attend this special event and to bring neighbors and friends to celebrate these women in a public forum.
