About us

While the local affiliate was founded in 1980, AWM (formerly AWRT) was formed in 1951 when the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) discontinued its women’s division, the Association of Women Directors (AWD). The NAB Board voted approval of a new organization, offering complete cooperation and assistance until the new organization could work out the details of separate operation. The following year, over 280 women gathered to approve the structure of the new organization. In 2010, the organization changed its name to Austin Alliance for Women in Media, in order to better represent our commitment to women in all forms of electronic media. Our Mission at the Austin Alliance for Women in Media is to harness the promise, passion and power of women in all forms of media to empower career development, engage in thought leadership, and drive positive change for our industry and societal progress.

    • Flyer for AWM September Luncheon
  • On this Women’s Equality Day, we honor the legacy of the 19th Amendment and the countless women who fought for the right to vote in the United States. U.S. Congress designated August 26 as “Women's Equality Day.” The date was selected to commemorate the 1920 certification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. We’re committed to empowering women and driving meaningful change; shaping a future where every voice is heard. #awmaustin #awmatx
