Byliners

This dinner and awards program recognizes the accomplishments of women who have made a significant contribution to our community through their professional and volunteer achievements. AWC uses proceeds from Byliners to offer education and resources to members and scholarships to female students pursuing a degree in the communications field.
 
Bosses’ Breakfast

Each April, members of the Association for Women in Communications host a breakfast to visit with and show their bosses a valid relationship between their membership in AWC and their jobs. Whether the member works for a non-profit organization, a small business or a large corporation, AWC offers the resources and networking opportunities to help the member in her career.
