This was the theme of the 2007 AAUW TX Leadership Conference which was held in Austin this past weekend.
Before we could envision our future, we needed to be clear about who we are now. We accomplished this via a "visit" from our founder, Marion Talbot, and a showing of "Iron Jawed Angel."
Our keynote speaker, futurist Terri Grimm, helped us understand the benefits of envisioning the future and also gave us some tools to help us in that work. A wonderful panel helped us see the importance of envisioning our financial future. In workshops and during round-table discussions, we gained tools to help us envision our future as AAUW leaders. Emmy-award-winning journalist, Jeff Crilley, gave us some tips and techniques on using the media to envision our future. And, Lisa Maatz, AAUW's Director of Public Policy and Governmental Relations, shared the importance that public policy has in our future.
It was an educational, inspirational, and fun-filled weekend and the participants left eager to do the work of AAUW in Texas!
