Arizona Thinking Women is a grassroots collaboration that seeks to develop an on-line publication for intellectual individuals looking to change ordinary to extraordinary. Thank you for your response and interest in contributing your gifts, talents and passion to Arizona Thinking Women (ATW)! ATW is grateful for your contribution as a staff writer, editor, event planner, fund raiser and/or board member. Continuing in the efforts of a great project in partnership with UNIVERSITY-COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP (UCP-SARnet) - more specifically expanding to produce a new publication specifically designed for women in conjunction with ‘Arizona Community’ we’ve established a new division that adresses women's issues within our community and globally. Step I—ATW is a new start-up organization and at this time our passion overshadows our budget. Therefore, we would all be volunteering our time until we get sponsors. In others words, the goal would be a passion of the heart. If this is something that you'd be interested in please let me know via email. You would be an asset to this mission. Step II—ATW currently has about 50 members and 12 to13 women enthusiastic about contributing articles. It’s great to meet other like-minded women finding joy in writing! The goal is to commit first to your passion – writing. Hopefully, you’d be willing to contribute 5-8 hours per month –your choice and a short face to face meeting only as needed. It’s important to try and keep the periodical fresh and current, hence the bi-monthly publication. In addition, we’ll need you each to please email a short bio (1-2 paragraphs) and a photo (jpg or pdf format). Articles should be: contemporary; thought provoking; authentic; concise; clever and resources well cited. Article should be submitted by email in a Word Document format by the 10th and 24th of the month. Step III—Arizona Thinking Women’s articles should range from100-300 words for a bi-monthly newsletter/magazine. Please select a 1st and 2nd writing byline area from the following topics of interest and/or expertise— email as soon as possible to get started: • business & finance • mind & soul • food & drink • film & TV • travel • politics & society • history • sports • reading, art & literature • visual & performing arts • technology • home, style, fashion • health & wellness Our objective is to promote women; therefore ATW will endeavor to sponsor community and civic events, host speakers and support women’s ventures here in the valley and globally in hopes of reaching out to women of diverse background.
