Letter from the Section President

Dear members of the Gender Issues and Worklife Balance Section:

I was humbled to serve as a President of GIWB Section for the past year. It is a great pleasure for me to share that we have had a very productive year, and we still have three months to do great things to stay one of the most meaningful and vibrant sections. We are blessed with many dedicated volunteers who care deeply about our Section’s success, its standing, and contributions in a fast-changing environment. They also care about serving our members.

This short message is to introduce you all with what our Section has accomplished. There was an increase in the Section’s membership. We continue to encourage the GIWB members to invite their colleagues to join our section and share our activity via social network to keep the increased membership trend going.

Benefits of Section Membership

Everyone knows students and colleagues who are affected by matters of work-life balance or gender issues. The GIWB Section is relevant to AAA members regardless of their fields of specialization. Over the years, the GIWB Section has offered numerous paper sessions, panels, pre-conference workshops, and symposia at the AAA annual meeting. The Section provides four prestigious awards funded by KPMG each year, three for research and one for exemplary mentoring of students.
