Association For Women in Management The Association for Women in Manage- ment is a pre-professional organization of female students whose purpose it is to encourage the maximum potential of its members. This association is unique be- cause it addresses the total growth of its members, not just their career path. A major concern of the group has been the future of its members in the professional world. During the 1980-81 academic year, AWM has sponsored various programs and activities which have contributed to both the knowledge and development of its members. Each activity has tried to focus on a particular theme. By presenting various speakers, AWM believes that students will gain from the day to day experience of women currently in the business world. Early in the year, AWM hosted an alumna speaker, Salli Moran, who provided great insight into the process of obtaining an entry level posi- tion in an organization. In second semes- ter, AWM held its Sixth Annual Seminar on Successful Women which presented female guest lecturers from prominent businesses. A reception following the pre- sentations allowed members to obtain in- depth information from the speakers. The AWM also worked on improving faculty relations this year. Several faculty dinners allowed students to casually in- teract and learn from their professors ' ex- periences. 1st row: M. Otto (Co-Pres.), E. DePaul (Co-Pres.) 2nd row: M. White (Treasurer), M.
