Anchorage Petroleum Women's Association
APWA President Update:
As we wrap up a year of unique and uncertain circumstances, we are excited to be able to transition back toward in person events. Please keep an eye out for our monthly communique as we continue to plan events throughout the summer. Many of our Activity Groups will continue to meet throughout the summer as well so if you need any assistance catching up with any of the Activity Group leaders, please let me know.
**The Anchorage Petroleum Women's Association is committed to following municipal guidelines and mandates and working together to protect each other's safety at all our events and activities. We encourage all of our members and participants to consider their own risk and decide on their comfort level before participating in any APWA scheduled activities or events.**
As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me 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. Petroleum membership is available for those women with a connection to the petroleum industry through their own work or their partners, while Association Membership is for anyone else that wishes to join. 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.
