Since 1909 The Association for Women in Communications (AWC) has had one goal: advance the status of women in all fields of communications. From our humble beginning of seven women journalists at the University of Washington, we have grown into a professional powerhouse of more than 3,000 members nationwide, encompassing all fields of communications.
Last year the AWC Dallas chapter celebrated its 75th anniversary.
Disciplines represented within the association include: print and broadcast journalism, television and radio production, film, advertising, public relations, marketing, copywriting and graphic design, Web and online communications, multimedia production and photography.
AWC Dallas members may obtain professional certification through the Matrix Foundation. The Certificate for Communications Excellence Program, offered in cooperation with the Department of Communication at the University of Washington, recognizes communication expertise, leadership and management skills in awarding the Certified Communication Professional (CCP) designation.
