About Alberta Women of Industry Committee (AWIC):
Since 2019, the Alberta Women of Industry Committee (AWIC) has been guided by a simple belief: when women succeed, we all succeed. Guided by that belief, our mission is to connect and elevate women across industries while creating meaningful community impact in Alberta. AWIC brings together women at all stages of their careers to connect, recognize leadership and support continued professional growth. What began as a vision to foster collaboration has grown into an established platform for networking and community engagement across the province. Each year, hundreds of professionals attend the AWIC Golf Classic and International Women’s Day luncheon. Both events consistently sell out, reflecting strong demand and sustained engagement from Alberta’s business community. With the support of sponsors, golfers, volunteers and attendees, AWIC has raised more than $181,000 for Alberta charities since its inception. As its community continues to grow, AWIC remains committed to expanding opportunities for connection, leadership and impact for women across Alberta.
