“Progressive Women Remaining Relevant in a Global Society”

My Fellow NAUW Sisters,

I am delighted to serve as your Co-Chair for the 71st National

Convention which will be held at the Manhattan Beach Marriott

Hotel in the beautiful city of Manhattan Beach, California, a

suburban city outside of Los Angeles. We welcome you to the

Golden State of California! Convention year is always an exciting

time for NAUW as we continue to grow and adapt. We strive to

remain relevant in this rapidly growing age of social media. We have

seen injustices across the nation, and note the continuing systematic racism. We gather together

to become motivated and responsive during these times, and want to take back to our branches a

renewed sense of hope, encouragement and the belief that we can work together as civic-minded

women for better understanding, social justice and righteousness among men. We will have

dynamic workshops, inspiring speakers, talented youth and plenty of vendors to shop till you

drop. Our National President Evelyn Wright will guide us through the business at hand as she

continues to carry the vision of four visionary women who saw a need to unite to address racism

in 1910. In this 21st century, we are still addressing these same issues. As progressive women, we

can make a difference. We can connect with fellow sisters, learn from our Forever Emeralds and

collaborate with our millennial sisters by welcoming them into our illustrious organization. Take

advantage of the early bird registration. Sign up for workshops and committees, and become a

part of the solution to ignite change in this global society.

Come early and take a fabulous escorted pre-tour to see Los Angeles. The City of Los Angeles

holds many distinctions. L.A. is the entertainment capital of the world, a cultural mecca boasting

more than 100 museums, and a paradise of idyllic weather. Some of the world’s best-known and

most iconic landmarks and attractions call Los Angeles home: the Hollywood Sign; Griffith Park

Observatory; the Walt Disney Concert Hall at the Music Center in Downtown L.A.; the

Hollywood Walk of Fame; the Space Shuttle Endeavour at the California Science Center; and

Universal Studios Hollywood, just to name a few. Southern California is famous for its near-

perfect weather and Los Angeles has plenty of outdoor activities to allow visitors to enjoy the

sunshine. Plus, Los Angeles is one of few cities in the world where it’s possible to ski in the

morning and surf in the afternoon. Los Angeles has inspired “California-cool” fashion trends all

over the world. From the high fashion shops on Rodeo Drive to the chic boutiques of the beach

cities, Los Angeles offers shopping for every style. If you plan to stay longer, plan a tour of your

own. There is so much to see and do. You

will not be disappointed.

On behalf of our National President Evelyn

Wright, Southwest Sectional Director Dr.

Essie French-Preston, and myself, Kenya

Dennis of Culver City, we would like to

say, “WELCOME ABOARD!”

“Progressive Women Remaining Relevant in a Global Society”

Greetings from the 71st National Convention

Co-Chair, Valerie Vaultz, 1st Vice President

of the West Coast Cities Branch of the

Southwest Section. My dynamic NAUW

Sisters, what an honor and a privilege it will

be to welcome you to Manhattan Beach,

California. Manhattan Beach is a city within

the southwestern Los Angeles County, on the

Pacific Coast, South of El Segundo, and North

of Hermosa Beach. Manhattan Beach is one

of the three Beach Cities that make up the

South Bay.

We are working passionately to make certain that we leave no stone unturned in

order for you to have a convention like no other. We want to provide you with

the business of NAUW but not only do we want to work hard, we especially want

to play hard. It is my prayer that this convention will offer you a wealth of

wisdom, many monumental moments, and overflowing opportunities to share

our sisterhood! We look forward to seeing you there

Workshops for 2018 National Convention

Letisa Vereen, Chairperson

How to Successfully Manage Your Branch Finances

Our financial officers will review the duties of the Treasurer and Financial Secretary •Timeline for

Submission of Dues and Required Documentation (i.e. download of forms from National Website)

•Required forms to submit to National for Reimbursement •Use of Electronic Tools to Generate

Monthly/Yearly Financial Reports (i.e., Microsoft Excel) •Answer Questions Related to Tax

Exempt Documentation Needed to be Submitted to Vendors. Laptops would be helpful in this

workshop.

Parliamentary Procedure

The knowledge of parliamentary rules is helpful to participants on every level: members need to

be aware of methods of correct procedure, and leaders need to be knowledgeable in the use of

proper techniques. Correct parliamentary procedure ensures justice to everyone, prescribes

order, reflects kindness and generosity, provides constructive use of limited time, and gives one a

sense of self-confidence. This workshop is designed to help experienced and inexperienced

leaders and members conduct meetings of high quality and efficiency and to give guidance in

organizational structure and functions.

NAUW Protocol

The officially established practices of the National Association of University Women will be

presented in this workshop by the Forever Emeralds. The Protocol Guide sets forth the practices

and social interactions of the NAUW and provides a historical memory and continuity that holds

us together with the spirit of trust and respect for each other. Be sure that you understand how

things should really be done. Get all of your protocol questions answered!

Technology is a Must

The importance of technology in our daily lives is undeniable. This is due to the fact that in today’s

dynamic world, technology is a must. As technology continues to advance and direct even more

easiness in our lives, there is a need to stress how advantageous it is to our lives. Find out the

latest technological advances and how they will impact you.

How to Avoid Fraud, Scams, and Identity Theft

People 50 and older control more than 70 percent of the nation's wealth today, and the scammers

know it. They’re using the telephone, U.S. mail, email, and the Internet and may even appear on

your doorstep trying to get your money. New technology has made it easier for criminals to gain

access to our personal information and savings, and for some of us, issues related to aging, such

“Progressive Women Remaining Relevant in a Global Society”

as memory loss, can increase vulnerability. Understanding the latest trends and tactics in fraud

can help us all to protect our own savings and help others who are more vulnerable.

Living a Healthy Lifestyle

This workshop is designed to help people learn techniques and strategies for the day-to-day

management of ongoing health conditions. The focus is on issues common to people with a

variety of health conditions. Participants develop through action-planning and feedback, behavior

modeling, problem-solving techniques, and decision-making.

Blueprint for Financial Success

This workshop provides a general overview on building a strong financial foundation.

One-third of Millennials are concerned about finding a stable job and paying off loans. Fifty-two

percent (52%) of Gen Xers and 53% of Baby Boomers say saving for retirement is a major

concern. Only one-in-five of those surveyed feel financially prepared for an emergency. About

one-in-four respondents consider themselves financially savvy. Does this sound familiar? Join us

and get some of your financial questions answered!

Dance Your Way to Fitness

Line Dancing involves a lot of footwork and legwork and is a great cardiovascular and

cardiorespiratory workout. There are many fitness benefits that include an increased alertness,

increased rhythmic abilities, improved mental acuity and concentration, plus better posture,

balance and coordination. Come and dance your way to fitness!

Black Lives Matter For many, Black Lives Matter is unfamiliar. To truly praise or criticize the movement, it is imperative that individuals gain an understanding of the history of the African-American experience in this country as it relates to law and justice--two of the country’s most cherished tenets. Could it be that the doctrine of equality has and continues to neglect African-Americans in the United States? Could it be an unjustified outcome of justified force? The Black Lives Matter seminar creates a safe space for students and faculty to explore the movement, debate the merits of the movement, and ultimately arrive at a conclusion that is in line with their own moral compasses. Be a part of an eye-opening and highly valuable learning experience. Fingerprinting 101 The science of fingerprint identification has served worldwide governments for over a century to provide accurate identification of criminals. Fingerprints offer a reliable means of personal identification, which essentially is the reason fingerprints have replaced other methods of establishing the identities of persons reluctant to admit previous arrests. No two fingerprints have ever been found alike in many billions of human and automated computer comparisons. Therefore, fingerprints form the basis for criminal history foundation at every police agency on earth. Come and learn about this fascinating and vital process. Sex-trafficking This workshop provides the necessary information to keep children safe on the Internet and

informs adults about how best to protect young people from negative and criminal influences on

line. Topics include social networking, cyber bullying, sexting, and Internet predators. This

workshop provides prevention and intervention strategies and Internet safety resources
