About Us

The Smith Mountain Branch of AAUW is made up of more than 75 women who enjoy continual learning and service opportunities in our mountain lake community southeast of Roanoke, Virginia and the surrounding area.

Our branch meetings are typically held on the 3rd Saturday in January, March, May and September.  Programs include local speakers who are active in mission-related activities promoting the interests of women and girls.  Branch activities include STEM projects with local students, a study group reading classic literature and our international studies group that is currently studying Ukraine.  We also have a very active community service initiative!

Come join us as a guest at one of our branch meetings or study group sessions.  Feel free to participate in one of our community service endeavors. You can also attend our signature fundraiser in November – a fashion show that has become the talk of the tri-county area! The monies raised in this annual event fund our scholarship program and as well as some of our other STEM related activities.

Everyone is welcome!   We look forward to meeting you!
