Mission

The Alaska Women's Environmental Network's (AWEN) mission is to establish and maintain a statewide network of women dedicated to conserving Alaska's natural heritage through outreach, education and public service.

Background

AWEN was established in 1994 and its purpose was to support women in developing their leadership abilities in the conservation field. Today a new generation of women has united to revitalize the Network and to continue the work of the founding members.
