The members of AWES are women of all ages who work in a variety of engineering fields, and in the sciences as geologists, geophysicists, chemists, physicists, biologists, zoologists, science teachers, and researchers. Some work in geomatics or biomedicine. Some may choose to suspend their careers and stay at home with their children for a period of months or years. AWES offers a supportive network to them as well as to those members who find themselves unemployed. You will also have an opportunity to gain valuable experience by serving on the executive.
AWES provides a monthly program meeting as well as informal networking sessions.
Programs cover a wide range of interesting topics from science research to humour in the workplace to personal development. Members receive a newsletter, Integral, which provides a calendar of events, news of achievements by women, write-ups of programs, and articles written by members. The members of AWES are interesting to know, with their demanding jobs and fascinating hobbies that range from ballet to rock climbing, painting to parachute jumping, playing the piano to playing baseball. If you write or telephone, you can find out when the next meeting will be held. You are welcome to attend.
