IRON MOUNTAIN The Iron Mountain-Kingsford Branch of the American Association of University Woman in 2021 is celebrating its 100-year anniversary.
The local branch is the oldest branch in the Upper Peninsula and the sixth-oldest branch in the state.
Since AAUW’s conception in 1881, the mission has remained the same to advance equality for women and girls through advocacy, education and research.
In 1921, several members living here had been members of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, the precursor to AAUW. The group invited Mrs. Holbrook from Ann Arbor to Iron Mountain to explain the purpose and ideas of AAUW and help organize the branch.
