In 1967, a small group of women founded a branch
of American Association of University Women in
this area that gave birth to Women's Rights pioneer
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the first Native
American venerable, Kateri Tekakwitha.
The late Eleanor Reed was the first President of
this organization. The seminal group of 15 women
has grown like the biblical mustard seed into a tree
of 80 members including 2 of the founding members,
Helen Mandato, and Phoebe Boschi.
Nestled in the Foothills region of the Adirondack
Mountains and the Mohawk Valley, the Amsterdam-
Gloversville-Johnstown branch "Lives the Mission"
through the monthly activities that are painstakingly
planned during the summer. The branch “Shares the
Mission” and offers GATEWAYS to women by
collaborating with the area YWCA, BPW,
Soroptimists, Mohawk Pathways Girl Scouts, the
local community college FMCC, and other agencies
that work towards the welfare of women.
