Text Box: The April meeting will focus on an issue that has been a concern of AAUW for many years, pay equity. Every year, a certain day is set aside to be Equal Pay Day. This date symbolizes how far into 2010 women must work in order to earn what men earned in 2009. This year, Equal Pay Day is April 20. WOW!

Our speaker on “Pay Equity, Still an Issue” is Linda O’Hara, a member of both our branch and the Salem Branch.   She has held many positions at the branch and state levels, including state president, as well as serving on Association committees.  She is currently an Instructor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at OSU. She also teaches classes at Chemeketa Community College.  Before switching to teaching, Linda had worked in the (male-dominated) field of Information Technology as a Senior Programmer/Analyst, so you can see she is well qualified to address this topic.

The meeting will be at 7 PM, Wednesday, April 14, at the Women’s Center on the campus of OSU. Parking at OSU is not restricted (except for signed areas) after 5 PM, so anyone can try to find a place to park near the Women’s Center. However, shuttle service will be provided from the Methodist Church parking area on Monroe and 12th to the Women’s Center starting at 6:40 pm. The shuttle will return you to the church parking lot after the program. You may park in the church lot and walk to the Women’s Center if you wish. If you would be willing to drive for the shuttle service, please call Marilyn Treiman at 541-758-6337. Hope to see you all at this exciting meeting.
