State Conference Directory

A state conference is formed when several chapters in a state decide to work together to advance AAUP policies and goals. Through a state conference, existing chapters are able to have more influence statewide and new chapters can find the support and guidance they need closer to home. Below is contact information for state conferences where one exists; note that not all states have a conference.
