Title: Maryland National Organization for Women

URL: http://marylandnow.org/

Description: Archived website of the Maryland National Organization for Women. The National Organization for Women (NOW) was founded in 1966 to advocate for women's economic, political, and social equality through education, fundraising, lawsuits, legislative lobbying, protests, and rallies. The Maryland Chapter of NOW was established in 1972 under the leadership of Casey Anne Hughes. The state organization coordinated activities in support of national actions such as campaigning for the ERA as well as supporting involvement in state and local politics. Beginning in the late 1970s, the state council raised funds to pay for a NOW lobbyist in Annapolis, charged with keeping NOW's concerns for women's economic and political rights and, particularly, access to reproductive health care and birth control before the legislature and with keeping NOW members informed about current bills that affected women's issues. The Maryland NOW website includes information about its mission, bylaws, chapters, officers, political action committee (PAC), issues, campaigns, opportunities for participation, resources, and events. The site also hosts a news and opinion blog.

Description: Archived website of the American Association of University Women of Maryland, 2015 to present. Founded in Boston in 1882 by sixty-five female college graduates, the American Association of University Women (AAUW) is the oldest and largest national organization of women in the United States. While advocacy for women and women's educational opportunities have remained basic elements of the AAUW program, international relations, cultural interests, and the quality of community life have become long-standing commitments as well. Currently, the AAUW offers college-educated women conferences and seminars on such subjects as the United Nations and the American family, fellowships for doctoral or postdoctoral work, grants for members to return to school after a five-year absence, a coalition of woman-power influencing local, state, and national legislation, and several publications. The Maryland State Division was officially launched on November 18, 1942. The current objectives of the Maryland Division of the AAUW are to assist in the formation of new branches in the state, to give and receive suggestions from other state branches, and provide backing for programs of individual Maryland chapters. The division also actively sponsors a variety of programs and projects in such areas as community, education, cultural interests, international relations, women's issues, and legislative concerns. The AAUW of Maryland website includes information about its blog, calendar, public policy, legislative alerts, newsletters, branches, tools for leaders, college and university partners, membership benefits, and Maryland Women of Distinction Fund.

URL: https://www.mdlib.org/

Description: Archived website of the Maryland Library Association (MLA). The MLA was founded in 1923 by a group of dedicated librarians hoping to form a collective voice of representation to further the interests of libraries within the state of Maryland. The MLA was instrumental in such tasks as the development of the graduate school of library science at the University of Maryland, College Park, which began accepting students in 1965. In 1975, the original goal was modified to permit the MLA to "promote and develop library interest and development and the profession of librarianship in the state of Maryland." Today, in addition to providing numerous professional development opportunities for its members, the MLA continues to actively serve the library interests of Maryland through the monitoring of and participation in legislative activities and public policy. The MLA website includes information about its bylaws, leadership, strategic plan, archives, policies, Nettie B.
