AWIS-San Diego

Association for Women in Science - San Diego Chapter

AWIS is the largest multi-disciplinary organization for women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We are dedicated to driving excellence in STEM by achieving equity and full participation of women in all disciplines and across all employment sectors. Recognizing San Diego's biology edge, AWIS-SD founded the wildly successful Women in Bioscience career development conferences in 1993. Successive conferences in alternate years have become a mainstay of the San Diego science calendar. AWIS-SD is now one of the largest chapters in the country. As well as the network and community, it is increasingly a voice for women in science and technology in San Diego and beyond.
