Biography/Profile
The Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG) was officially founded in 1977 with approximately 50 members in the Bay area of San Francisco. The first chapter formed in 1979 when a group in Denver became associated with the San Francisco group. The Bay area, at first, served as national headquarters for the organization as regional groups developed into recognized chapters. The Association, now headquartered at Menlo Park, California, has the following goals: 1) To encourage the participation of women in the geosciences, 2) To exchange technical, professional, and educational information, and 3) To enhance the professional growth and advancement of women in the geosciences.
AWG-Denver held its first public meeting on 31 January 1981. The chapter currently holds numerous annual events as well as monthly dinner meetings that cover a variety of geoscience topics. The chapter also publishes a newsletter and sponsors student awards and workshops.
