Women working full time in the United States typically are paid just 80 percent of what white men are paid, a gap of 20 percent — and it’s even worse for women of color.

AAUW’s Work Smart program is designed to empower women with the skills and confidence to successfully negotiate their salary and benefits packages. In AAUW’s workshop, women can expect to learn:

-About the gender pay gap, including its personal consequences
-How to quantify the market value of their education, skills, and experience
-How to conduct objective market research and determine a fair target salary
-How to create a strategic pitch and respond to salary offers.

AAUW’s trained facilitators are uniquely qualified to guide participants through AAUW’s curriculum, which utilizes the latest research and negotiation strategies to help women navigate the complexities of job offers and promotion opportunities. Facilitators for this workshop are Roli Wendorf, Nancy Vincent and Adie Shore.
