Welcome to AWIS Chicago Area Chapter
AWIS Fellows Reception at the AAAS meeting. February, 2009
The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to achieving equity and full participation of women in all areas of science, technology, and engineering.
The Chicago Chapter of the Association for Women in Science was founded in 1978 as a local chapter of the national organization.
2009 was an exciting year for the AWIS Chicago Chapter. We expanded our outreach programs, sponsored professional development workshops and hosted several social activities for area women scientists. AWIS Chicago also partnered with the city-wide Science Chicago program to sponsor two ‘Science Saturday’ activities. The 2009 career development theme was “Effective Negotiation”. We will complete this series in 2010 and are in process of developing a theme for the new year. Check back here for brief news on what AWIS Chicago is doing and how as a member you can be involved.
