Based in Atlanta, our goal is to advance the vision of AWIS National throughout the state of Georgia and beyond. AWIS Georgia supports and empowers women in all fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in any employment sector. We host professional development, mentoring, networking, and social activities, as well as participate in local STEM outreach initiatives.

I encourage you to attend our events, volunteer on a committee, become a partner, and/or enroll as an official sponsor.
