NETC STRATEGIC PLAN 2021-2022
To accomplish the AAUW vision and mission, the NETC branch establishes the following Strategic Plan for 2021-2022:
• Provide branch programs, fundraising projects, and events that support the AAUW mission of advancing gender equity for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy.
• Provide training, encouragement, and communication to ensure branch members are equipped to participate in a safe meeting environment at a successful level.
• Demonstrate an active membership of at least 100 members by June 2022.
• Explore and actively cultivate relationships with other women’s organizations in our community for the purpose of mutually supporting one another’s efforts to promote awareness and action where our missions align.
• Provide up to two (2) college students a $1,000 scholarship to the 2022 AAUW National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL).
• Provide up to two (2) KEYS High School graduates a $1,000 scholarship through the Georgeann Gallian KEYS Scholarship program in 2022. NETC Branch members will continue to actively support all students and faculty at KEYS High School.
• Provide up to two (2) students enrolled in the 2021-2022 Dental Hygiene Program at Tarrant County College Northeast Campus a $1,000 scholarship. Also provide $500 each for up to two (2) students to cover the partial cost of the required dental kits.
• Review of the appropriate use of $2,000 scholarship funds appropriated in the 2021-2022 budget by the chairs of the three scholarship committees who will then make a recommendation to the Board of Directors for their review and approval.
• Explore ways to work with HEB ISD to determine what the needs of ‘tween and teen girls are following the trauma of Covid-19 and how best our branch can serve them on their path to successful high school and post-secondary educational attainment. This will include a re-examination of our existing Full STEAM Ahead program to see if it is still the best model for this work, given the current circumstances.
• Support of the AAUW Greatest Needs Fund at the $3000 level.
• Increase Legacy Circle Membership by 10% by June 2022.
• Serve as co-hosts with North Texas Branches at the Texas Conference to be held at the Hurst Conference Center, Hurst, Texas, April 29-30, 2022. NETC will provide co- chairs and volunteers for the Local Arrangements Committee (LAC).
• Explore ways our branch can continue to participate in the AAUW Five-Star National Recognition Program.
