Philanthropy

One of AWC’s long-standing traditions is to champion and mentor young women who belong to AWC student chapters across the country. The AWC-Madison Professional Chapter continues that tradition with our member-endowed Catch a Rising Star Award, given annually to an aspiring student pursuing a career in communications.
