Anchorage Petroleum Women's Association
July 2020 Update: Although we are facing a lot of uncertainty in these times, APWA's central mission to help our members Meet, Grow, and Give remains the same. This year we hope to keep the wonderful traditions of this organization alive, and begin new ones. We are actively planning how we can continue to provide social opportunities for our members in the context of COVID-19. We are committed to following municipal guidelines and working together to protect each other’s safety at all our events and activities. We hope to share an updated calendar with a variety of activities and events in the fall. In the mean time, if you have questions please don't hesitate to email Kirsten at president@ancpwa.org
Are you new to Anchorage?
Are you looking for a way to expand your social or support network?
APWA began in 1958 when a group of eight women gathered to welcome the wives of oil and gas employees transferred to Alaska. Known then as the "Anchorage Petroleum Wives Club," they strived to provide support to newly arrived women and those already in Anchorage. Today, we continue to provide members with opportunities to socialize and share interests through various social events, such as monthly gatherings and activity groups.
Additionally, since our founding, we have embraced a charitable and volunteerism component, which is encompassed in our associated 501(c)3 organization, the Anchorage Petroleum Women's Foundation. Each year, we select a local nonprofit organization to be our annual nonprofit partner. To raise funds for the annual nonprofit partner, we organize fundraising events.
Our annual membership is $40 and any Anchorage-area women over 18 are welcome to join. Membership is available for those women with a connection to the Petroleum Industry and we also welcome women from other industries to join as Associate members. Upon joining, members receive a monthly newsletter via email, which provides information about organizational activities, gives access to our private Facebook pages, and allows the ability to participate as much or a little as you have time for.
