Fellowship Program

The Global Woman Asia Fellowship is a powerful, capacity-building program that brings together a group of promising female leaders from across the world to build a network, advance personal leadership skills, strong network, and engage in problem solving around a critical global systemic issue.  

GWA Fellows have demonstrated a commitment to building bridges between Asia and the world and are poised to become  leaders in their fields, if not already.  They come together throughout the year and engage in a peer-to-peer sharing program to nurture their own growth, those of other Fellows, and work towards the advancement of the GWA mission.

Each year, GWA designates a focus area for the Fellowship Program. The theme for the 2023-24 Global Women Asia Fellowship Program is sustainability, and was supported generously by ABAC USA. 

We are thrilled to announce our theme for the 2024 Fellowship Program - Women in STEM.

Global Community Building

The foundation of our work lies within the strength of our community, which is nurtured through meaningful engagements within our chapters and local networks.

Our chapters are a local community of global citizens with Asian perspectives seeking to further the GWA mission in their local area through thought leadership, events, and conversations.  We have local networks throughout the world.
