I am excited to apply for the position of VP of membership after working as co-chair of the Membership Committee for the last two years. I have really enjoyed my work with AWAEM and feel this is a group with not only a great track record, but also further potential to make a significant difference in the professional and personal lives of women in academic EM. As such, I believe recruiting new members at the faculty, as well as resident level, is critical to further this mission: I initially heard about AWAEM through word of mouth from a colleague and while this is an important way to spread the word, I believe further promotion of our group through avenues including a greater presence on social media will help encourage new members to learn about all the resources and community we have to offer. Thank you for your consideration and I am looking forward to hopefully greater in-person opportunities for membership recruitment in the coming year.
