AAUW Sarasota

Events-What's Happening

In addition to the events listed on this page, we have special interest groups (SIG’s) that offer opportunities for our members to socialize.  Times and venues for the meetings vary and most are held monthly.  We are open to adding additional SIG’s. If you have an interest in starting one, please tell us.

From September through May, we have a monthly business meeting that features a speaker. Speakers may be either educational or entertaining, and often reflects information that pertains to our goals.  The meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 2:00 pm at the Women’s Resource Center, 340 South Tuttle Avenue, Sarasota.

Our business meetings are open to the public and we cordially invite you to attend.  No reservations are necessary.
