If you’ve been thinking about joining the Association for Women in Communications, now is the time. As a member of AWC, you can Connect, Engage, Advance, and Lead alongside fellow women leaders and communicators. But don’t just take our word for it – hear it straight from our members: read these testimonials and see for yourself.
Julie Navickas
“I have always been told that AWC was THE way to network with successful women in the communication discipline, but it’s more than simply networking. AWC has afforded me the opportunity to learn from those who have lead before me, connected me with professional resources across the country, and inspired me to do more. Through my experience in leadership positions with AWC, I’ve learned to push myself beyond my comfort zone and lean on the women surrounding me. We’re not just a professional network, we’re a family, all hoping for the success of our peers in the discipline.”
Amy Wood
“I needed women who had capitalized on their strengths and supported one another. AWC has the representation I need! They inspire, educate, share, encourage, and believe in me. And me in them! If you’re sitting on the fence about joining AWC, I thought I might shine a little light. There is a lot more to consider when joining a group like this than meets the eye. You’re embarking on a community that could literally change your career, your life, and your appreciation for what women can do.” Read the rest of Amy’s testimonial here.
LaDonna Greiner
“There are many aspects of membership that I value including the monthly speaker series, social gatherings, webinars, conference, blog, Facebook page, LinkedIn connection and access to the more than 1,000 AWC members. However, the thing I value most is the culture of the group, the positive vibe and the relationships that develop from my involvement.”
Sylvia Woods
“I know now that it’s not enough to just get the degree. As a communicator, it is important that I am completely surrounded by other women in the communications field, that I stay abreast of communicative creative strategies that I can apply in real life, that I know the obstacles and hurdles other communication specialist endured. I want to center myself around diverse groups of women who have a love for and understands the wonderful world of communications; how it is ever evolving with women at the core.”
Elizabeth Gould
“I joined because I’m an author of a health book trying to get word out about the importance of developing the right brain state (home to creativity, sensory processing, nonverbal communication, and non -judgment) to help return to health and I was so impressed at the women of the Santa Barbara chapter. I’ve never been around a more friendly, compassionate group of women in my life. Glad to have found a home base to advance my communications skills.”
Sharleen Dupee
“I maintain my membership each year as I believe it’s important to keep my skills sharp and surround myself with smart women. It also gets me out of my comfort zone. I made a career change three years ago. I went from working for a National non-profit to working with my husband in our small business. I enjoy being in a leadership role, but I can also be content as an observer. Staying active with the Tulsa Chapter keeps me sharp and it’s the perfect fit for me to continue to develop my professional network and keep a pulse on what is happening in our community and fulfill the need I have for polishing my leadership skills.” Read the rest of Sharleen’s testimonial here.
