The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) has designated ten “Shooting Star” Chapters for their outstanding initiatives throughout 2023 which align with AWIS’ mission of advancing women in science. These chapters include Chicago, Houston, Massachusetts (Boston), New York Women in Natural Sciences, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Philadelphia, Sacramento Valley, Seattle, and Washington DC.
AWIS-Houston was selected for the “Community Catalyst Award”. We take immense pride in being acknowledged for our endeavors and aspire for AWIS-Houston to serve as a hub where our members can connect with fellow women in science who share similar interests, fostering a sense of support and appreciation.
The winning chapters were selected by AWIS’ Chapter Advisory Committee based on the information provided in each chapter’s annual report. As a result of their impactful efforts, each of these chapters will receive a $350 grant to support community-focused activities that elevate the visibility of women in science.
Meredith Gibson, AWIS CEO, expressed her admiration, “AWIS is fortunate to have so many dedicated volunteers and chapter leaders working to support the AWIS mission and advance women in science. Thank you and congratulations to this year’s Shooting Star Award winners for their exceptional contributions.”
