What’s so special about AAWE? Our members say it best!
I joined AAWE for support at a difficult time in my life. I remain a member because I found not only friends, but people who I can do projects with to make a difference in my community and in the world. -Clara
I love AAWE for the dynamic and open atmosphere, variety of activities, and shared spirit of sisterhood. -Lorie
AAWE thinks of those things unique to our situation that I don't realize are important--until they are! - Michelle
It helped make Paris "home", this supportive and nurturing lifeline of amazing, diverse, fun, interesting and fantastic women. I've made strong lifetime friendships through AAWE... it's a warm and open community, within which (together with the US Girl Scouts and the American Library in Paris) my 2 and 3 year old daughters grew into beautifully spirited young women now 18 and 20 - where they were able to enjoy their American heritage, culture and values alongside other Franco American "kids", including understanding their citizenship rights and responsibilities...

AAWE is a family: there are aunts and cousins and sisters. And their support and encouragement have been such a boost over the years as I adapted to the French culture, job market, and lifestyle. It's been such a relief to be able to ask questions of other women who have faced similar challenges. In AAWE I've developed great friendships with smart, fun English-speaking women who are also living permanently in France.
It’s always been such a warm welcoming place where we learn from and support each other, build firm friendships for life .
