Why belong to the Association of Women in Communications?

We support women in communications fields. AWC’s supporting role in your communications career starts with getting you together with others who can teach you, learn from you, share new career opportunities with you.

We introduce you to Tulsa’s professional communicators. Our members are marketing directors, public relations professionals, writers, broadcasters, speakers, professional women who represent their own businesses or someone else's; everyone who gets the word out and everyone who helps do it. Membership encompasses all fields of contemporary communications and this diversity provides the opportunity to learn about various communications careers through networking and professional development programs and materials.

We support students of communications. AWC gives our student members a look at how the working world works with our Mentor/Shadow Day program. We sponsor students at our luncheon meetings, and they get to work with one of our members for a day in their professional environment. Visit our Student Chapter for more information.

We bring outstanding speakers each month on topics relevant to communications issues. Our speakers are tops in marketing, advertising, writing, broadcasting, journalism, and community leadership. At our general membership luncheons each month you can learn new topics, network with other professionals, have a good laugh, be inspired, and be refreshed. Visit our Programs section to learn more.

We reach out to the community with communications events. Throughout the year, AWC sponsors these events:

• Girls Unlimited - a program of Resonance that is a program camp for girls in grades five through nine that helps develop leadership and interpersonal skills.
• Holiday Gifts for Needy Tulsans - AWC purchases and personally wraps holiday gifts for a needy sector of the Tulsa community.
• Media Workshop - a workshop providing skills relating to accessing and working with the local media. Celebrity guest speakers and professionals address the attendees. The non-profit organizations are the targeted audience.
• Media Directory - complied and produced annually for the Tulsa community to have current contact information regarding the local and regional media.
• Student Chapters - students from TU and OSU participate with our professional group. Networking, internships, and job searches are outcomes of these affiliations. Student members can compete for a scholarship awarded annually from our Tulsa Chapter.

We Support Issues Affecting Women in the Workplace. AWC is dedicated to issues of importance to today’s woman. This organization was at the forefront of efforts to enact ERA, and we retain our commitment to its passage. Through lobbying and activities with coalitions, AWC works to bring favorable resolution to issues of national importance that impede our progress—such as pay equity, equal rights protection, adequate provision for family and medical leave, child care, and more. These efforts can and do make a difference in the quality of our lives. Every AWC member increases our credibility and impact – numbers matter to those who govern the nation.
