The OWA membership continues to grow! We are happy to welcome these 70 new members since the October 2017 newsletter.
Take some time to explore the resources and activities of the OWA and let us hear from you. Our committees embrace the diversity of industry professionals at all levels. Get involved in the committees that resonate with you. The organization is flourishing because you the membership are actively involved. There's a lot of work to do to promote women in the industry and the most important part of what we do is you! Your thoughts, time, and involvement make an impact and create the success of our organization. We invite you — we encourage you — to get involved in your OWA today!
