Promoting AWIS in Order to Support Women in the STEM Disciplines

摘要

Spring has finally sprung here in Connecticut, providing renewed energy. And AWIS is poised and ready to complete its ongoing activities and to start on its new ones. Our Corporate and Institutional Membership campaign has added six new corporate members and fourteen new institutional members to date. The board continues to contact additional corporations and institutions and could use your help. A significant challenge is identifying the appropriate person within a company or institution to approach about these membership options. We also need to hear from our chapters about which corporations they are soliciting funds from, so that national AWIS is not in conflict with local efforts — or so national AWIS can join with the chapter to make a stronger case for joining our organization as one combined funding option. Please be in touch with me or with the national office if you can provide the name of an appropriate individual for us to contact as we strive to add more corporations and institutions to our membership list.
