President’s Message
Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your family!
As the new year begins, I thank each and every one of you, our Alhambra-San Gabriel Members, for your diligent efforts on this journey of ongoing VISION and EQUITY FOR ALL.
This past year, in November, AAUW National recognized Yie-Shin Hung, an executive-level global finance and business leader who has been recognized as one of Forbes’ 100 Most Powerful Women in the World.
AAUW supported Yie-Hsin as a Selected Professions Fellow, and her career stands as a powerful example of the impact of investing in women’s potential. This fellowship has supported 526 women pursuing master’s or professional degrees in fields where they have been historically underrepresented.
Please plan to attend our Author’s Luncheon on Saturday, January 24th, 2026 at Alhambra First United Methodist Church at 9 N. Almansor St., Alhambra from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Looking way ahead, save the date! We will be voting on raising our branch dues from $21 to $25 per year. Your vote counts! Be sure to attend the April Annual meeting, Monday, April 13th, 2026 at Alhambra First United Methodist Church from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Details are forthcoming on our Fund Meeting in March in the Mission Gateway Newsletter.
Be sure to look for the DEI Stories of our Membership in the upcoming issues of our Mission Gateway Newsletter. Our brave, resilient women, and a few men, are fighting the “isms” (ageism, sexism, racism, etc.) and coming out on top! Please join in this dialogue and let us know if you have a story to share. Contact Janice Lee to contribute to this worthy conversation.
