History
The idea for the Alberta Womens Science Network (AWSN) was formulated at the Science Alberta Foundation conference held October 1992 in Calgary. Here, women from all over Alberta discussed the need for a network amongst Women in Science & Engineering groups in Alberta. By communicating and sharing resources, the groups would be helping each other to achieve common goals. The outcome was a Consortium Committee representing some of the active women in science groups in Alberta. The committee members were: Joyce Luethy, Susan MacAlister, Dr. Lis Dixon, Dr. Margaret Ann Armour, Connie Parenteau, Arlene Howel-Pick, Joy Brown, Pamela Parr, Mary Jane Tomcala, Dr. Dorothy Tovell, Ingrid Jasper and Glenna Jefferies, chair.
The mission, objectives and activities were drafted and the group was granted non-profit society status in Alberta. The first annual general meeting was held in June 1994. The first newsletter was published in June 1993 with the purpose of reporting on all the activities in Alberta that meet the AWSN mission.
