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
