2023 AAUW-IL, 98^th State Convention
Friday – Saturday, May 5 – 6, 2023

Embassy Suites by Hilton East Peoria Riverfront Hotel & Conference Center
East Peoria, IL

Following on the heels of our very successful face to face AAUW-IL convention in 2022, plan to join AAUW friends and colleagues from around the state at the 2023 AAUW-IL Convention in East Peoria. The rooms at the Embassy Suites are truly a suite with a separate bedroom, a fold out sofa in the front room, and a shared bath in between. Very conducive to bringing a friend to the conference. We are lucky enough to be using the 2022 prices. You can use this link today to reserve your room AAUW IL Convention 2023 Embassy Suites  or you may call 1-800-EMBASSY and use the code AUW (yes, it’s 3 letters).

Please mark your calendars and watch for additional details in Connection.
You won’t want to miss this annual meeting where together we advance the AAUW mission.

Reach out to Becky Glimco or Peg Gallagher, AAUW IL Program Chairs, for questions aauwilprograms@gmail.com
