I was introduced to The Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) many years ago by a then-ambassador who invited me to one of their meetings. From the moment I walked into that room, I was struck by the organization's overwhelming support and deeply moved by its mission: to provide young women graduating from local high schools with scholarship funds to attend the college of their choice.
It wasn’t long before I knew I had to be a part of this incredible initiative. I quickly became a member and soon accepted a position on the Board, where I’ve had the honor of serving with pride over the years. The work that AWE does is not only crucial in providing financial support to deserving young women, but it also plays a pivotal role in connecting its members with a diverse group of talented, ambitious individuals.
My involvement with AWE has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It has opened my eyes to the potential and promise of the next generation of women leaders—young women whom I may never have had the opportunity to meet if not for this organization. Through AWE, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of education and mentorship, and I am continually inspired by the impact we are making together.
In a world where opportunities can often seem out of reach, AWE stands as a beacon of hope and support, ensuring that the next generation of women has the tools they need to succeed. I am proud to be a part of this mission and look forward to continuing this vital work for years to come.

Just a few short years ago, the Alliance of Women Executives ("AWE" for short) started with a desire to help local women of promise achieve their dreams. The women of AWE network with a charitable purpose and that purpose is to award annual scholarships to young women from Palm Beach County who will attend college in Palm Beach County – either at FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY or PALM BEACH STATE COLLEGE.
There are many factors that make it prohibitive for youth in our community to pursue their dreams of a higher education. The spike in college tuition costs, the cuts to financial aid for students and soaring student loan debt placed on today’s youth make it nearly impossible for many to continue education after high school. Working students, single moms, families on tight budgets and youth aging out of foster care find their dreams harder and harder to attain.
The Alliance of Women Executives helps these deserving young women take the next step in their lives with academic scholarships. Awarding checks to these girls, helping make their dreams come true, and giving them the opportunity so many of us have taken for granted, has been powerful and life-changing for all of us in the organization.
I am humbled and proud to be a part of the Alliance of Women Executives.
If you believe in involving yourself where you live and giving back where you live the Alliance of Women Executives is definitely a great organization to be part of. That is what originally attracted me. The mission to do what we can for the young women graduating high school and continuing their education to fulfill their dreams and goals - it doesn't get much better than that.
The growth and outreach of this organization that I have seen since my involvement is amazing. I have been a member for 5 years and on the Board for three.
If being part of something that involves our next leaders, this is the organization to be part of.

As someone who has worked in the University sector for almost 30 years with underserved populations, I know very well the need of this population.

AWE is AWE-inspiring and changes the lives of so many.
I have known the founder of this organization, Vicki Tate, for many years and because I saw that she was a strong, committed passionate about this amazing cause I became an AWE when it began 6 years ago. Vicki, her Board, and her members are advocates for young women who yearn for a college education, but who may not be able to afford the high costs. This organization is unique because it funds stay local, given to girls who graduate from Palm Beach county high schools and who go to local colleges/universities and I also have the opportunity to meet the recipients! Knowing we are helping these girls and prepare them as future leaders is money well spent. I also get to meet many like minded local entrepreneurial women executives that inspire and motivate me personally, especially my friend Vicki. Membership in AWE has been truly rewarding and I encourage anyone interested in helping young women be all they can be to get involved with the organization.
The Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) is a non-profit that positively contributes to the lives of so many young women in Palm Beach County. My daughter was a scholarship recipient of the AWE award, class of 2020. The AWE scholarship was the ONE and ONLY scholarship that kept on giving. By giving, I mean that just did not write a check. The organization kept in touch with her and offered opportunities to advance her professionalism and boost her confidence. My daughter received a LinkedIn profile review from one of the AWE members and AWE provided Toastmasters for all who were interested. My family is eternally grateful for the support and guidance this organization provides. AWE is truly AWESOME!!!
The Alliance of Women Executives founder, Vicki Tate, had a vision of assisting deserving Palm Beach County high school women with scholarship opportunities so that they could pursue a local college education.

What AWE has accomplished in such a short period of time is a true testament to the dedication and hard work of Vicki and the AWE board . Each year the number of scholarship recipients continue to increase. I also share the belief that women are empowered through education. As a proud donor, I am so grateful that I can help support AWE's mission.

I have been a supporter of Awe for the past 3 years. My company has an initiative called K&E Travel Gives Back. We could not find a more deserving organization than AWE. they are AMAZING ! We have given 2 scholarships with the most recent this past spring. At the annual presentation ceremony this past month we got to see who and how our scholarships have impacted young deserving women from Palm Beach County who have overcome so much and yet they still have raised themselves up to go to college. We could not have been more proud being a Donor to this amazing cause.
Ever since its inception, I have been in awe of AWE (Alliance of Women Executives).

Wonderful organization helping local students have a brighter future! Love to see the support of local women by local women!
AWE is an exceptional organization! They empower young women to reach for their dreams while keeping their scholars in our local community. This encourages pride, increases our local children's opportunities, and encourages reinvestment into their own home towns! Micro economics at it's best! Here's to AWE's mission, their leadership, and their scholars, for investing so much into Palm Beach County!
As I hear the stories about how AWE has helped these young women, it is truly heartwarming. Especially when you here direct from these young women. The impact that AWE's scholarships has had is outstanding. They are doing a great thing by helping these women lift themselves up.

I cannot say enough about AWE. Seriously making a difference for women. The leadership has the biggest hearts. Join them today ladies, you will be so happy you did!
The opportunity to help a young woman build a brighter future, through higher education, is priceless. It's been my pleasure to watch AWE continue to grow based on a simple yet powerful mission.
Its members are committed to helping local young women continue their educations locally. This is truly an investment in the future of our community, as many scholarship recipients are education trailblazers in their families.
AWE also provides a chance for women to network and grow professionally. These brilliant connections would not have happened without this organization providing a transformative alternative.
When I heard how this small networking group of women executives
generates donations for academic scholarships so that young women can reduce their college debt, I was only too happy to pay the membership dues and use my company's resources to support these efforts any way I could. And this year, I was able to help the president find a local supporter to donate laptops to all scholarship recipients. Such a great feeling helping others in need.
I was privileged to become a member of the Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) four years ago and joined the board of directors three years ago. This amazing non-profit awards $1500 academic scholarships to young women who graduate from a Palm Beach County, FL high school and pursue their education at a college or university located in Palm Beach County. I have watched with pride as this grass-roots organization has grown from awarding five scholarships in the first year to awarding 20 scholarships this past year. In addition to its mission of supporting education for young women, AWE provides an outstanding opportunity for professional women to exchange ideas and share their experiences.
I am proud to be a member of AWE and to serve on its board.
I found the Alliance of Women Executives via their LinkedIn page. I started attending their monthly meetings. The dedication of the members and the Board is very inspiring. I felt this was the perfect initiative to support so I too became a member. Looking forward to seeing the recipients of scholarships for the Class of 2022.
My name is Andrea Carey and I am very grateful to the Alliance of Women Executives and being awarded the scholarship for the year 2020. Receiving the scholarship allowed me to finish my first year of college without any student loan debt and eased the financial strain that college can cause. The Alliance of Women Executives as an organization and are heavily passionate in their mission statement and care deeply about inspiring and providing mentorship for young girls.
I have followed AWE from It’s inception. This is an organization run by strong successful women who want to give back to their local community and help young women, who have worked hard to better themselves through difficult times, a leg up toward their next educational step. These women work very hard all year long in hopes of honoring as many local young women they can toward achieving their dreams! This is an extremely worthwhile and gratifying nonprofit organization to follow and participate in supporting.
AWE is an organization of exceptional women I am proud to be a part of. Everything that is Performed by the group comes out of compassion and love.

They are also very supportive of one another in helping their members through the good times and the not so good! It’s like having the bunch of sisters you’ve always wished for!
I have known Vicki for many years now and when she first had this idea about getting some friends together I was glad to join in. We are all professional women but oddly our paths had not crossed and Vicki wanted to change that. We met and discussed a networking group to accomplish the same idea but she wanted more. Vicki wanted to have a purpose and the idea of scholarships for local young women furthering their education was how she wanted to give back. That is when the Alliance of Women Executives was born and has been thriving ever since. Each year with Vicki's determination and drive our scholarships have increased and we continue to help young women make their dreams come true. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of AWE and would recommend being part of this fantastic organization and help to lead more young women successfully into the future.
I have known the founder of this organization, Vicki Tate, for several years and because I saw that she was a strong, committed, unwavering and responsible leader I became an AWE member a year ago. Vicki, her Board, and her members are passionate advocates for young women who yearn for a college education, but who may not be able to afford the high costs. I support several worthy organizations and what makes this one unique and wonderful is that (1) the funds stay local, given to girls who graduate from Palm Beach county high schools and who go to local colleges/universities and (2) you can meet the recipients and see exactly to whom the donations are going! Knowing we are making these girls' dreams come true and preparing them as future leaders - our leaders - is money well spent. Membership in AWE has been truly rewarding and I encourage anyone interested in helping young women be all they can be to get involved with the organization in any way you can.
I cannot say enough good things about this organization and its mission. Its founder Vicki Tate has made it her life's mission to give opportunity to young women in our area. Her dedication shines through the amazing work of AWE.
From an Idea to creating the vision into reality. Vicki Tate saw that vision and I am honored to be part of helping this organization AWE, help create our future. To be able to give the opportunity to those who have a dream, but was not sure how to make it happen. These young women are our future and the AWE Members are so proud of what these young women have accomplished . To be able to give a scholorship and watch a dream come true, is priceless. The scholorship recepients are grateful and continue to achieve those dreams and accomplish goals to help the future of this world. Fantastic Organzation.
I researched different organizations and attended events to see if it was a fit. When zi attended an AWE meeting, I knew zi found my match. A great group of ladies all working towards an amazing goal. I love that the group gives back locally.
Vicki Tate started AWE 4 years ago and has put together an amazing group of professional women to help Palm Beach County young women in high school to continue their education in order to attain their lifetime goals. This group has been SO SUCCESFUL!
The first year AWE was able to award one scholarship to a very deserving young lady in order to help her to pay for her college education. This year, a few days ago, AWE was able to award 20 young ladies with a scholarship. So much growth in such a short period of time. I am proud to be a member of AWE and to watch these young ladies succeed.
This organization and the group of women are the most amazing group that have the biggest hearts I've ever met. They are determined to make a difference in the young lives of women growing in the Palm Beach County area and have succeeded 110% plus. Please get involved in this amazing organization and the women, and are such a wonderful as support system for everyone in the area.
“She believed she could, so she did!” What better way to describe Vicki Tate, the founder of AWE. Coming from a long line of visionaries and generous donors, I had the honor of receiving grants from Vicki’s family; money that brought life, education and the arts to my small community program. A strong business woman and an adoring recipient, we developed a friendship that has spanned many years across many miles. It did not surprise me when Vicki shared her idea (Ubering our way to the theater) of recruiting successful women to help raise money for scholarships, encouraging and supporting young women in her own community, to attend college. A sisterhood of powerful women empowering younger women to follow their dreams. So Vicki! The remarkable women who volunteer and the amazing young scholarship recipients, more each year, represent the incredible success of AWE. AWE inspiring and totally AWEsome, ”they did and they will!” 5 stars are not nearly enough.
Four years ago, sitting around my friend’s dining room table at a delightful brunch with a few of her friends, AWE was born. Vicki, the mastermind of it all, wanted some of her most trusted friends to meet each other. She was perplexed that none of us knew each other and thought, these women - my friends - are all successful in their own independent ways and they should know each other; they can enrich each other perhaps in a variety of ways...be it new friendships or business dealings, etc. And, as the saying goes, the rest is history. Vicki laid out her passion about bringing women together in a unique “networking” strategy that would be combined with a charitable purpose - to help young women reach their dreams of getting (and affording!) a college education. We were all in. Today AWE is a thriving, membership-driven, all-volunteer organization, methodically growing and increasingly giving back to the young women in Palm Beach County through scholarships.
After leaving my position as an Educational Program Director at another nonprofit organization, I still wanted to find ways to serve my community. One of my students from my prior affiliation received a scholarship from AWE and invited me to join her at the award ceremony. During the event, I felt how genuine everyone's intentions were. This can be very rare in the nonprofit world. This group of women really wanted to do all that they could do to serve these deserving young women. I got in contact with Vicki shortly after to find out how I can get involved. She allowed me to volunteer as the Student Coordinator because of my past experience. I enjoy serving with this organization and am proud to be apart of its growth. The young women that I get to work with are dedicated, smart, hardworking, and so much fun. This organization serves to make sure that although circumstances may be against the people in our communities, they still get a fighting chance. I can't think of anything more essential in this world today.
The Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) is one of the most impressive non-profits I’ve been involved with. This all-volunteer group of women came together to both network professionally and support the community by raising funds to award college scholarships to promising young women of need. Through word of mouth, a passion to pay it forward, and active engagement AWE has made an enormous impact on the lives of its members and young scholarship recipients. Borne out of a shared vision of doing good by supporting other women, AWE truly lives up to its motto, “She believed she could, so she did.”
AWE is such an incredible organization and honored to be a part of it. It is so nice to work with a great group of professional and like minded women that want to make a difference in the next generation of young women. It is an honor to recognize these young ladies who have overcome life obstacles and still had amazing achievements in school with scholarships as they pursue their education. Talk about making a difference in so many ways!
Alliance of Women Executives ( AWE)
Is a great example of women helping each other! We are a diverse group of women giving back to our community. We do this by raising money for scholarships for young women in Palm Beach County, Florida attending local colleges. We also network and share our experiences with each other to help grow our businesses. It’s a great combination!
This organization exemplifies what it means to support young women with the greatest need and ambition to succeed!
The greatest gift you can give a girl or young women is an education. It changes their entire future path to one of financial, personal, and intellectual independence. Unfortunately for many the costs of higher education make it seem like a far away dream.
AWE has taken the steps to help these young ladies make that dream a reality. Watching AWE begin as an idea and turn into such an amazing organization has been incredible. Vicki Tate and the AWE team have turned real passion and experience in the professional working world into a platform to help the next generation gain a head start. Through scholarships and networking partnerships with local executives, women are given the essential tools to make a degree a reality.
As a mother of three girls myself and a daughter of Vicki Tate, the pride and joy I see from this program is indescribable. Young women are the future of our world. They are the next generation’s power players, innovators, and leaders. It’s our job to make sure they have every chance to become all they can be. AWE strives to do just that and help young women succeed.
After moving to Palm Beach County several years ago, I was looking for ways to give back to the community, and especially to help young women. AWE was a perfect fit; a wonderful organization which helps young women attain the dream of higher education. Our membership is a diverse group of professional women sharing experiences, helping each other, while Also helping others less fortunate. Each one of our scholarship recipients exhibits outstanding qualities. The opportunity to receive a higher education is something every child should have. Our mission is doing our part for those deserving young women to have that opportunity.
To quote Nelson Mandela;
“ Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” These young women want to do just that! Learn more about us, donating and/or becoming a member at: www.aweinc.org

Education is the foundation for success in all areas of life. The Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) has a mission that is hard not to love. We raise money for scholarships to support young entrepreneurial women in our area to continue their higher education at our local colleges.
Our applicant essays are eyeopening as to the challenges that our youth often face. They are passionate, committed, smart young ladies who already have a purpose in life but need a bit of help to get there. Some of the essays are heartbreaking, relaying difficult stories from their childhood that many of our members cannot begin to imagine. It is extremely rewarding to help these young women - many of whom are the first in their family to attend college.
I joined a couple of years ago and have become so enamored with the mission that I now serve on their Board as Director of Communications. I love promoting AWE and have happily introduced many of my professional associates to our cause and several have become members - all are now committed to our cause.
