Albuquerque Press Women (APW) is a chapter of New Mexico Press Women (NMPW) which is an affiliate of the National Federation of Press Women (NFPW). Because of our state and national ties, Albuquerque Press Women offers activities at the local, state, and national level.

Locally
Meeting monthly for a lunch and invited speaker, Albuquerque Press Women is where professional men and women in communications trade ideas and news about trends and career possibilities, sharpen skills and hear about each others’ triumphs and travails. A local newsletter-style E-GRAM keeps us posted on what’s happening.

Statewide
The annual state conference is a weekend packed with distinguished speakers, informative workshops, and networking. Among the important activities of the state organization is the annual Communications Contest, an arena for testing yourself and your work. Albuquerque professionals have a great track record of winning awards in state and national contests. The state Communicator of Achievement, a coveted prize, is awarded annually.

Nationally
The national conference offers models of leadership in communications and in women’s initiatives. The NFPW Communications Contest is another opportunity to compete beyond local and state arenas. “Agenda,” NFPW’s quarterly newsletter, keeps you posted on national issues. The membership directory gives you access to hundreds of colleagues across the country.
