Certified American Association of University  Women (AAUW) salary negotiation facilitators will conduct a workshop designed to help you negotiate for a new job, as well as for earned raises or promotions.

How to identify and articulate your personal value

How to develop an arsenal of persuasive responses and other negotiation strategies, including how to get a raise or promotion
