“Where there is a woman, there is magic.” — Ntozake Shange

It is an incredible honor to serve as President of AAUW-Tennessee for the 2025–2026 term.

We are navigating a pivotal moment in history—one where policies at every level of government continue to shape the lives of the people we serve. Now more than ever, our collective voice and unwavering commitment to equity are essential. This year, let us boldly focus on Empowering women and girls, Engaging our communities, and Expanding our reach across the state.

While challenges lie ahead, AAUW-TN remains strong. Together, we will continue to fight for equity in education, economic opportunity, and leadership; especially for those historically left at the margins. With purpose and passion, we will strengthen our chapters, grow our membership, and invest in the next generation through scholarships and support.

Thank you for your dedication to our mission. I invite you to explore our website, get involved, and connect with me directly with any questions or ideas. Together, we are AAUW-Tennessee, and together, we create lasting change.

With gratitude and determination,

Karen C. Davis
President, AAUW Tennessee
