*AWIS Philadelphia Receives Nova Star Award*
The Association for Women in Science (AWIS) has designated AWIS-PHL for their outstanding initiatives throughout 2023 which align with AWIS’ mission of advancing women in science.
AWIS Philadelphia has elevated their mentorship program through continuous improvement and pioneered a groundbreaking succession planning initiative, setting a gold standard in leadership transitions. This program significantly minimizes the learning curve for newly elected leaders and showcases the chapter’s foresight and commitment to sustained excellence.
