In addition to the Programs and Awards that we provide, AWM supports activities that seek to change the profession, to welcome more women at all levels and help to anchor them in the community. Our Policy and Advocacy work includes pushing for a Anti-Harrassment Policies at conferences, Advocating on the Hill, and supporting #TimesUp for Math. We also run subject-specific research networks to grow and expand the profession, and to put women in positions where they can move to leadership roles.

AWM events can always use your help!

  • Sign up to be on AWM Committees!
  • At the Joint Mathematics Meeting, the SIAM Annual Meeting, and at MAA’s MathFest, AWM has a booth in the Exhibition Area. Volunteer to staff the booth, meet new members, talk to people about why AWM matters, and share the many opportunities for how others can get involved.
  • At the biennial AWM Research Symposium, volunteers are need to manage rooms and AV, help with registration, and even sell t-shirts! Planning to attend? Let us know if you will be able to help.
