OUR VISION American Women Veterans® Foundation believes that women have always been the catalyst for change within our homes, our communities and the world. We envision a society in which the legacy of America's servicewomen, veterans and their families is celebrated and carried on to future generations of powerful and inspiring women. We strive to empower women from all branches of service with a continued sense of pride and service which enables them to reach their full potential and to contribute as they always have, in making America stronger. American Women Veterans® is the nation's preeminent, non-partisan, 501(c)3 non-profit organization that serves, honors and empowers women veterans and their families from all eras and branches of service. Serve + Honor + Empower = SHE We hope to achieve this by; ~ Engaging and advocating for new or improved policies that improve the lives of women veterans and our families ~ Sponsoring retreats, conferences and symposiums focused on empowering our members and our communities ~ Conducting outreach campaigns to raise awareness among service women and veterans of our benefits, entitlements and services ~ Promoting positive images and public awareness of women's contributions from all branches and eras of service ~ Embracing continued service to our communities and our nation through philanthropic projects ~ Cultivating leadership and professionalism within the military ranks and our communities
