 Public
Policy covers a wide spectrum of concerns for women, both nationally
and state.
The Public Policy staff in Washington, D.C. consists of six staff
members. Two are dedicated to federal lobbying; four communicate with
local branch members about public policy. Local branches subscribe
to Action Alert which concerns bills active in Congress.
California AAUW has a paid Legislative Analyst, Charlotte Newhart.
She advises the state Public Policy Committee on bills that are pending.
The state notifies the branches with a call for action, such as, lobbying
or writing letters to the legislators.
