WHAT IS AWC - NNJ?

The Association for Women in Computing, Northern NJ, one of several national chapters, is a non-profit professional organization for women and men dedicated to the advancement of women in the technology fields.

WHY JOIN AWC?
Anyone who has recently transitioned into a new position may have experienced first-hand that member affiliations and professional networks are valuable tools to leverage and achieve success during times of economic uncertainty. Networks provide a level of personal and professional support in economic instability that can make all the difference in preparing you to rise above career challenges, recharge and renew.

Why wait until you are put into a downsized environment or tough situation? The difference between success and failure in moving your career forward often ties back to preparation, positive attitude and confidence. Joining AWC NNJ is a proactive move you can make NOW to stay on track with your professional goals!
