Interbranch Councils (IBC) were formed in the 1980s to enable branches in one or more counties to act together on county matters related to AAUW's Mission Statement.

The AAUW-CA bylaws state: "Branches may speak with one voice on issues of that area by participation in the council." Multi-branch events, sharing of information, community coalitions, connecting the state with the branches, identifying problems and suggesting solutions are all part of the function of the council.

Interbranch Councils:

•  Establish positions on issues affecting the interbranch area
•  Alert branches to act on intercity or intercounty issues
•  Open channels of communication between branches
•  Engage in activities that enhance and promote AAUW membership and program
•  Comply with state and Association Use of Name policies
•  File an annual report of revenues and expenditures at the close of each fiscal year with the AAUW-CA finance vice president, with a copy to the state office
