Empowering Women in the Accounting and Financial
Professions since 1938!
ASWA was formed in 1938 to increase the opportunities for
women in all fields of accounting and finance. The first
chapter was chartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Members
include partners in national, regional and local CPA firms,
financial officers, controllers, academicians, financial
analysts and data processing consultants, recent college
graduates and women returning to the work force. The majority
of our members have attained professional certifications
such as CPA, CMA, CIA, and CFP. The mission of ASWA is to
enable women in all accounting and related fields to achieve
their full personal, professional and economic potential
and to contribute to the future development of their profession.

building a legacy!”
Dear ASWA Members,
Congratulations to the 3rd Annual Wine Tasting Gala Committee
for coordinating a successful event!
In this final President’s Message of this fiscal year,
I want to recognize the Board Members for doing a marvelous
job this past year! We started the year on health with Dr.
Terecita Dean speaking to us about what foods to consume
that give our body long life.
The Annual Silent Auction was a success despite the tough
economic times as our members and guests pulled together
for the 2009-2010 Scholarship Fund! We had a blast as the
San Francisco and Silicon Valley Chapters danced our way
into 2009 at the Annual Christmas Party catered by The Campus
Café in San Mateo.
Let’s not forget Michael Natale, Corporate Controller
of Republic Waste Services (previously Allied Waste), who
took time out of his busy schedule to talk to us about transitioning
from Accountant to Management! We had a full house!
Monumental events that occurred this year included the
1st Annual IMA/ASWA Joint Event where we heard from FOUR
women executives on how they survive through the current
economic times! What a humorous bunch of women!
And the Annual Scholarship Awards Dinner was the FIRST
time the Chapter awarded $5,000, PLUS TWO CPA Review Courses!
There was a full house, and we had to add chairs to accommodate
everyone who attended! Thank you to those members who gave
up their Chicken dinner for guests! Congratulations to Wendy
Matthews, Scholarship Chair, and the committee for a successful
Scholarship year!
