*The MA Chapter of AWIS has been recognized for the AWIS Star Award in
2013 and 2014.*
This prestigious award honors chapters that have achieved a number of
goals in AWIS’s Strategic Plan. These goals include advocating for a
positive system transformation, helping all women in STEM achieve
success, and maximizing our impact by optimizing organization
