2004 — The Association for Women in Communications (AWC)
is seeking professionals in Loudoun County and the western Fairfax
County area interested in meeting other professionals
in all fields of communications, including public relations, corporate communications,
advertising, website and graphic
design and production, magazine publishing, broadcast and print journalism, published authors and photographers. Members have
the opportunity to extend their leadership skills, continue their
professional development and support the exchange of
knowledge and
information among colleagues.
The association provides
many networking opportunities. Professional and
student chapters offer information exchange programs and forums. The online
membership directory and the annual conferences provide sources for
developing national and international connections.
Active members develop
strong ties to communicators in diverse professions, exchanging ideas and
finding solutions
to problems.
The association is based
in the United States and has more than 100
professional and student chapters around the world.
Membership is open to
women and men who work in the communications professions.
