NOMINATE AWIS FELLOWS!

I would like to encourage you to submit your nomination for the 2008
Class of AWIS Fellows.

Launched in 1996 as part of the 25th anniversary celebration for AWIS,
the Fellows Program aims to recognize and honor women and men who have
demonstrated exemplary commitment to the achievement of equity for women
in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

So often we forget to acknowledge the people who truly make a difference
in our day-to-day lives and in the lives of others. Your nomination is
a wonderful way to express appreciation for their on-going commitment
and support for women in STEM across all disciplines and employment sectors.
