American Society of Women Accountants
ASWA was formed in 1938 to increase the opportunities for women in all fields of accounting and finance. The first chapter was chartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Members include partners in national, regional and local CPA firms, financial officers, controllers, academicians, financial analysts and data processing consultants, recent college graduates and women returning to the work force. The majority of our members have attained professional certifications such as CPA, CMA, CIA, and CFP. The mission of ASWA is to enable women in all accounting and related fields to achieve their full personal, professional and economic potential and to contribute to the future development of their profession.
ASWA in Memphis
The Memphis Chapter of the American Society of Women Accountants was originally chartered in 1968 and went inactive in August 2002; however, we are BACK! We are up to approximately 50 members, and we aim to provide our members with opportunities to learn about accounting topics and issues, network with other Memphis professionals, and give back to our community.
