Title
Association for Women Geoscientists - AWG - Welcome!
Description
The Association for Women Geoscientists is an international organization devoted to enhancing the quality and level of participation of women in the geosciences and to introducing girls and young women to geoscience careers. Membership is open to all who support AWG's goals. Our members include professional women and men from industry, government, museums and academia, students from a cross-section of colleges and universities, retirees, and others interested in supporting our goals.
Their diverse interests and expertise cover the entire spectrum of geoscience disciplines and career paths, providing unexcelled networking and mentoring opportunities. Our membership is brought together by a common love of earth science and the desire to ensure rewarding opportunities for women in the geosciences.
AWG was founded in San Francisco in 1977 to provide encouragement to women in the geosciences, a career choice where they were largely underrepresented at the time. Today, AWG membership approaches 1200, reflecting the increasing participation of women in the geosciences. AWG is a 501(c)(6) mutual benefit corporation with local chapters in many cities and At-Large members throughout the U.S. and around the world. The AWG Foundation was established in 1983 as a 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation to provide support for AWG educational programs.
