ebAWIS has had a positive impact on our members’ personal and professional careers.  Many of the benefits include learning and developing new skills, a sense of achievement, boosting your career options, new experiences, and networking.  In a time of recession without a job, it’s important to make your resume unique. ebAWIS gives one a good work-life balance, which is very important to employers.

Everyone is welcome, including non-scientists and men. If you are not an AWIS member yet, please join us!
