Connect Locally and Nationally!

AMWA offers many opportunities for you to advance your career.  As you connect with our online communities you will identify colleagues with skills you hope to learn or job positions you hope to obtain.  Connect with these women and learn from them!  You can sign up to provide or receive mentoring in our member database or email associatedirector@amwa-doc.org.  Your relationships within AMWA will lead to speaking engagements, mentoring relationships, leadership opportunities and job positions.  Don't forget to attend our largest networking event of the year the AMWA National Meeting!  The AMWA National Meeting for 2013 will be in New York in the spring.
