Gender Bias and
Inequality!
The
5th Annual Speech Trek sponsored by the American Association of
University Women (AAUW) of Big Bear Valley, will be Wednesday February 24th.
Eleven High School students will participate in the speech contest.
Each
student will present an original 5-6 minute speech that express their personal thoughts
about :
What is gender bias and
inequality?
What is its impact on
people?
Why should organizations
such as AAUW
continue to work to
change its practice?
According
to AAUW, gender bias has been a part of human history around the world, and is
still present in most world cultures. All contestants will
receive recognition. The speakers will compete for cash awards.
AAUW
is once again partnering with Bearly Speaking Toastmasters to co-produce the
event. The student speakers have learned some good speaking skills from the Toastmasters.

The AAUW Annual Speech Trek will be at 7:00 P.M. Wednesday
evening, in the Hofert Hall of the Performing Arts Center Big Bear Lake . The public is invited to enjoy the speech to contest.
