For more than 50 years, the Association for Women in Communications Tulsa has empowered women in media, public relations, marketing and digital communications. Founded in May 1967 by Tulsa journalist and Tulsalite Magazine publisher Mary Margaret Fallis, AWC Tulsa has served as a vital network for women’s leadership, mentorship and professional development. Today, it continues to equip women with the skills and connections needed to lead in a rapidly evolving industry.
Women communicators shape public discourse, build communities and drive change. Despite their impact, challenges persist — from leadership barriers to pay disparities. AWC Tulsa advocates for gender equity in communications, providing progressive programming, resources and opportunities to assist women’s advancement.

For 50 years, we’ve championed women’s voices, fostered leadership, and built a community where communicators can thrive.
Our commitment to empowering women has never been stronger or more needed. At a time when misinformation is rampant and the glass ceiling is still only cracking, informed, ethical journalism and responsible storytelling are more critical than ever. The organization helps equip women with the skills to navigate these challenges.
The rise of digital media and artificial intelligence is reshaping communication. While technology offers new opportunities, it also presents challenges — maintaining authenticity, combating misinformation and ensuring diverse voices are heard. AWC Tulsa helps members stay ahead by offering training in digital strategy, crisis communication and media ethics.
By fostering innovation, the organization works to ensure women are learning and leading in their diverse fields. AWC Tulsa’s annual Newsmakers event on Wednesday exemplifies this 50-year commitment, honoring women who have made significant contributions to the field. By celebrating these trailblazers, we not only acknowledge their achievements but also inspire the next generation of female communicators to break through ever-present barriers.
As we celebrate our half-century of women Newsmakers honored annually, we recognize the need for diverse voices in our media fields. Now more than ever, we must continue uplifting and supporting the women shaping our narratives, informing our communities, and leading in their industries. AWC Tulsa is a movement working to equip women communicators to be driving forces for professionalism, leadership, progress, and positive change.
