In the spring of 1982, a small group of women came together with a shared belief: the growing San Ramon community was ready for its own AAUW branch. At the time, many local women belonged to neighboring branches in Danville–Alamo or Livermore–Pleasanton, but there was a clear need for a branch that reflected the unique character and needs of San Ramon.

We envisioned a branch that supported women in the workplace, new families, retirees, and anyone interested in advancing equity and education. To make participation accessible, we planned evening meetings and programs tailored to our members’ schedules.

In 1983, our charter was officially granted—and the San Ramon AAUW was born. Since then, we’ve continued to grow, evolve, and champion opportunities for women and girls in our community.
