Why BBVX?
Nancy Shoemaker registered the domain bbvx.org in 2005 to use for hosting applications and content that did not (yet) fit on the organization's web site. The site is devoted to empowering the volunteers who want to connect with each other for information sharing about projects, tools, and other ways to advance the mission -- WITHOUT going through the organizational hierarchy. While efforts connecting the grassroots may not address all AAUW's problems, if we are to become a flat, flexible organization that the 21st century demans, it can't hurt.
In some ways, other activities have overtaken this effort. See, in particular, the AAUW Facebook group for information on how AAUW members are using that platform to connect with each other and spread the word about AAUW to the rest of the Facebook community.
