The Rookie of the Year Award, established in 2013, is given to a member who has been in the Branch for three years or less.  Sonya Tenney is the Co-VP of Membership for 2023-24 and 2024-25. She jumped in when her partner on the membership team stepped away and she had to handle it alone. Membership is one of the more challenging roles on the Board as she keeps the membership database aligned with AAUW National’s database. She encourages recruitment of new members and co-hosts new member gatherings each year. She assists in any way she can as a member of the AAUW-Prescott Board, which is sometimes a challenge considering that she also works as a preschool teacher.
