ASWA San Antonio Home Page

Welcome to the official web site of the San Antonio, Texas chapter of the ASWA

We extend our appreciation to these generous folks for their sponsorship and support.

What is the ASWA?

The ASWA, or American Society of Women Accountants, is an organization devoted to the support of women in all fields of accounting from partners in large national firms to recent college graduates to women reentering the workplace. Founded in 1938 with its first chartered chapter in Indianapolis, Indiana, the ASWA has grown to well over 100 chapters and greater than 6000 members nation wide. Visit the web sites of some of our sister chapters from this page.

Who are the members of ASWA?

Although men are welcome to join ASWA, and many have, the membership is made up primarily of women in various fields of accounting. Most hold professional certifications such as CPA, CMA, CIA and CFP. Many others are working toward certifications and degrees in one or more branches of accounting or related professions. Information on joining the San Antonio chapter of the ASWA can be found by following this link.

What is the goal of ASWA?

The mission statement of the 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." More can be found on the national ASWA web site.

How does ASWA impact the community?

Among the points of focus, the ASWA is dedicated to informing the public in general and the profession in particular of the abilities and achievements of women in accounting. Furthermore, the ASWA urges and supports its members to continue their education and work toward certification. In a wider sense, this chapter of the ASWA, like many of its sister chapters across the nation, sponsors a scholarship for aspiring students of accounting. This scholarship is meant to help students of local colleges and universities pursue their goal of becoming a member of this noble profession. Information about our scholarship program and a faxable application are available here.
