IWIC Asia Pacific (IWIC APAC) has launched. A new mailing list for women in communications in the Asia Pacific. Click here to learn more...

International Women in Communications (IWIC) is a Tokyo-based bilingual non-profit group organized in 1993 to promote professionalism, the free flow of information and the advancement of women in communications. IWIC's main purpose is to bring women together to mentor and learn from each other.

We were inspired by the U.S. organization Women in Communications, founded in 1909, now called the Association for Women in Communications (AWC).

 
Our members include professionals in every field that fits under the "communications" umbrella. Some work for major news organizations, public relations firms, advertising firms, multimedia businesses or internet service providers.

Others are freelance interpreters or translators, website designers, writers or photographers. Still others are communications students, or people considering a career change.

Our list-serve event announcements, job leads and articles of interest reach over 500 professionals of various nationalities, working in Japan.

 
The IWIC Mailing List is our main form of communication. It is free of charge and open to anyone who supports our goals. Please email iwic AT gol DOT com to find out more about becoming a member of IWIC.

IWIC members value a network of professional women committed to similar goals. We meet to discuss professional issues, learn new skills, become better informed about each other's areas of expertise, and have fun! We believe a sense of community is crucial to advancing the status of professional women, and to enjoying our work.


 
Most of our events are held in the Tokyo area.
