Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsorship Benefits for Gala Sponsors:

Gala sponsors will receive recognition in on-site printed pieces and signage. They will also be recognized from the stage when the Gala takes place or is introduced.

Gala sponsors receive web-site recognition through name/logo placement on the appropriate "landing page" on the AWC-Houston web-site.

This event also awards the Kathi Bowles Scholarship, which benefits outstanding young women pursuing degrees in technology-related fields. The AWC Houston Chapter scholarship was established in 1988 to honor the memory of one of its members, Kathi Bowles and to promote advanced education in the field of science and technology. Over the past 11 years, AWC has provided $70,000 in scholarships for female students.
