A Message from our President:

As we head into a new term, I’m feeling incredibly excited about what’s ahead for the Austin Alliance for Women in Media. Our organization continues to grow, evolve and welcome new faces, new ideas, and new energy, and I truly believe this upcoming year is going to be one of our best yet.

Of course, none of that happens without this amazing community. Thank you to everyone
who joined us this past year at our luncheons, happy hours, Battle of the Media Stars, and Trailblazer & Awards of Excellence Gala. Every event reminded us how valuable it is to have a space where media professionals can connect, support one another, and just have a really good time together.

Now, we’re looking forward.

Our 2026-2027 Board has already started planning for the upcoming season, and we’re excited to bring you a calendar full of engaging events, fresh conversations, professional development opportunities, and networking experiences that feel meaningful…and fun! We want AWM Austin to continue being a place where connections turn into collaborations and where people across all areas of media feel welcomed and supported.

One thing I’m especially excited about is continuing to grow our community and create even more opportunities for members to get involved. Whether you’re a longtime member or brand new to AWM Austin, there’s a place for you here, and we hope you’ll join us throughout the year.

Keep an eye out for upcoming announcements and save-the-dates soon. We have a lot in the works, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Thank you for being part of the Austin Alliance for Women in Media and for helping us continue to build such a vibrant, supportive, and inspiring media community here in Austin.

Here’s to another incredible year ahead!

Cheers!

As Barbara Gittings reminds us, true equality is built not only through laws, but through the hearts and minds of people willing to listen, learn, and advocate for one another.

AWM Austin honors the voices, stories, and trailblazers who have helped shape a more inclusive future. We celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, reflect on the work that continues, and reaffirm our commitment to creating spaces where everyone belongs.

Today, we honor and remember the brave service members who gave their lives for our country and our communities. Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the sacrifices that protect the freedoms we share and to hold space for the families, friends, and loved ones carrying that loss every day.

As a community rooted in connection and storytelling, AWM Austin is grateful for those who served and sacrificed. We remember them today and always. 🇺🇸

Behind every strong woman is a story — and often, a mother who helped shape it. 💐

This Mother’s Day, we are celebrating the moms, grandmothers, mother figures, and generations of women who inspired us to lead, create, support, and uplift others.

Today we honor the women who taught us resilience, compassion, confidence, and the power of using our voices. Happy Mother’s Day from AWM Austin! 💕
