2025 STATE CONFERENCE
On March 27-28, 1925, the seven already existing local branches of AAUW in Virginia met in Williamsburg. When they adjourned, the Virginia Division of AAUW was a reality.
On March 28, 2025, join us in Alexandria as the AAUW-VA centennial celebration begins, and we jubilantly begin our second century of women changing the conversation.
The conference is being hosted by the AAUW-VA Northern District branches at the Sheraton Suites Old Town Alexandria, 801 N St. Asaph Street, Alexandria 22314 on Saturday, March 29, 2025, with preconference activities on March 28, 2025.
Great news! It’s not too early to reserve a room. Guest rooms will be available for March 28 & 29 (king/sofa bed or double/double) for $159 per night plus tax, including a full hot breakfast for up to 2 persons.
Use this link to reserve your room. Or you can call 1 (888) 236-2427; use code AAUW to reserve a room. The rate is also available for 3 days before/after Mar 28 & 29 on a space available basis. First make a reservation for conference days & then for extra days email jrasolofoson@sheratonalexandria.com.
The earlier you book a room the better because the 2025 Conference will take place on the eve of Cherry Blossom season and rooms in the hotel will book up early. Once our block is sold out, we might be able to add more rooms, but that will only be possible if the hotel is not already sold out.
*IMPORTANT NOTICE: When making your hotel reservation, ignore any reference to a
$25 resort fee. You will NOT be charged this. The room rate is $159 plus state and local
taxes
