Public Policy Position Statements
The AWIS Advocacy and Public Education Committee generates “position statements” on topics that directly impact the lives of AWIS members such as Title IX, women scientists in the academic workplace, family-friendly policies, and under-represented minority women in science.
We receive many requests for position statements and the natioanl board put in place policies which outline the process which you can review here. But, implementing AWIS’ mission as an advocacy organization requires a lot more than writing policy documents. Members of the Advocacy and Public Education Committee frequently participate in congressional briefings on diversity, science and technology, and are asked to deal with requests from Capitol Hill.
Much of this work is done in partnership with colleague organizations such as the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), the American Association of University Women (AAUW), and a number of discipline-related societies.
