Job Opportunities from Abbott Labs

Abbott Labs has asked AWIS to advertise open positions at their company to
our members and followers through our website and listserve.  As Abbott has
been a big supporter of our chapter, we are excited about being able to
continue our relationship with them in this way.

Currently, they have 4 positions available.  The list of positions, and any
future positions they choose to advertise through us, will be listed on
our website under the Job Opportunities link -

Share your Story with AWIS

As part of the 40th anniversary of AWIS, the national organization is
looking to hear from people who have stories about how AWIS has impacted
their lives.  If you have a story you'd like to share, submit it at
http://www.awis.affiniscape.com/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=446


AWIS national need volunteers

The AWIS Endowment Campaign is in need of volunteers from the chapters to
coordinate the solicitation of donations. If you are interested in helping
out, please contact  joy.ramos at awis-chicago.org.  While this is organized
through the national organization, proceeds will be split 50-50 with the
chapter, so it's a great way to help raise money for AWIS-Chicago, which
will help us defer the costs for future events.
