About AWN

Amarillo Women’s Network began in the summer of 1980 as an informal luncheon meeting for a few area career women.  They recognized that Amarillo lacked a professional organization that addressed itself primarily to the concerns and career needs of businesswomen.  At that time other civic organizations were not as open to women as they are now.  Business opportunities and career choices were much more limited as well.  AWN gave women the opportunity to promote their businesses and/or themselves while creating a valuable network of business contacts and friends. 
The choices and opportunities that women have today are limitless.  AWN still serves as a source of information and resources to assist women in advancement of their careers and businesses by sponsoring a variety of informative, educational and motivational programs for members and guests. 
Though the name implies that women only may join, AWN welcomes male members as well.  AWN encourages its members to get to know one another and to utilize contacts, whether male or female, to enhance their careers.
AWN meets at noon on the last Friday of each month.  Guests are always welcome to attend any AWN meeting.  For more information, checkout monthly meetings

Amarillo Women's Network

AWN is a premier source of information, resources, contacts and opportunities to assist in your success in the business world today. 
Networking is not a new idea.  Networking is as simple as telling one another about employment and business opportunities, or purchasing automobiles, insurance and homes from business peers.
The Amarillo Women’s Network was founded in 1980 and is dedicated to
  • Providing a professional, educational and personal support network for career women
  • Offer stimulating programs and life enhancing seminars
  • Serve as a resource for executive recruiting; and
  • Provide role models for the community
Our mission is to build an effective organization of women business owners and professionals that is committed to the success of its members as well as an exchange of business.
The broad range of employment fields represented by AWN’s membership provides area businesswomen with a large network of information and purchasing resources. Just some of the business fields represented by our membership are computer science, education, finance, government, health care, insurance, real estate, law, and retail and wholesale businesses.
AWN recognizes that women work for many reasons -- to support their families, to utilize their unique talents, to create a professional niche, to enhance their personal self-esteem and to earn the respect of their peers. 
AWN welcomes members who are dedicated to the advancement and success of professional women. If you would like to become a member of this dynamic group and expand your business network, then join us today.
