LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP: MIMI KORB SCHOLARSHIP
Mimi joined AAUW in 1982 and became a very active member from the start. She held almost every branch office over the years, including Program VP, Membership VP, Education Foundation VP for 13 years, President and Co-President of the branch for three separate terms, Parliamentarian, Chair of Woman of Achievement Diner Committee and Chair of the Branch 50th Anniversary Celebration.
In 2008 she was elected to the position of NYS Secretary/By-Laws and continued through 2010. She was instrumental in obtaining our branch designation as a 501(C)(3) organization. Mimi accomplished all of this while battling cancer with never a complaint, always a smile on her face. Mimi participated in many NYS Conventions and the Summer Leadership programs which she thoroughly enjoyed. Mimi retired from UPS as a Systems Analyst in Mahwah, NJ.
By vote of our Board following her death in September 2012, the Mimi Korb Scholarship was established in her memory. With her family’s contribution and involvement and contributions from branch members and NYS AAUW, our branch shall be awarding funds to a deserving Rockland woman who is entering her junior year in college and has declared a major in an area of Science, Technology, Engineering or Math. (STEM)
We hope to repeat this award for many years with the continued involvement of the family and contributions from branch members. Contributions are tax deductible.
