Women in Communications Cares (WICC), is
a career opportunity exchange program, launched by AWCNJ in
2001. A WICC segment at each meeting offers job-seekers, and
those offering positions, to introduce themselves to the
group and discuss positions sought and opportunities.
Developed by AWCNJ former chapter
president, Andy Korn-Hauschild, this special program was
created for professional women to help each other in an open
and structured networking forum.
“I am confident that numerous friendships
and strong professional relationships have evolved as a
result of the dynamic of group intimacy that develops from
giving individuals ‘the floor’ and allowing their
personalities to shine through,” Andy has said about the
program she developed for AWCNJ.
The WICC segment has enabled numerous
meeting attendees to obtain full-time positions, freelance
work and other business opportunities. Success stories are
often reported at meetings.
The WICC program was recognized this year
(2007) when Andy received The Association for Women in
Communications’ Star Award at the annual national
convention. The award recognizes outstanding members of
local chapters who have voluntarily gone above and beyond in
their participation and service to their chapter. These
members not only help the local chapter internally, but also
increase the visibility of the chapter in the greater
community. |
