AAWE aims to promote an inclusive environment, providing equal opportunities to a diverse community of different backgrounds, race, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and national origin. We believe collaboration is key to innovation in wind engineering, where ideas are shared across multidisciplinary and multicultural platforms and each person’s unique skills and abilities are considered valuable contributions.  

As AAWE, our mission to mitigate wind damage through engineering is inextricably tied with socio-economic and environmental justice issues. It is our collective duty to educate ourselves about the historical and current inequities that cause some groups to be underrepresented and undervalued in, as well as underserved by, our community.  

We encourage our members to actively contribute to prioritizing the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in their local communities.
