The AWIS-NCC committee is the official fundraising arm for the Northern California chapters of AWIS. All corporate donations should be sent directly to AWIS-NCC. Corporate funds raised are distributed by mutual consent among the chapters as requested for local projects such as programs, outreach, mentoring, awards and local scholarships.
In addition to supporting local chapter activities, AWIS-NCC raises funding to support regional AWIS events. Two awards are presented annually at the Awards Banquet to local women who have contributed to the success of women in STEM fields. A third award was created in 2000 to honor women working away from the bench. Other regional events include workshops and networking events which are open to the public throughout the Bay Area.
