Sociologists for Women in Society
Explanation of the association:
I chose the association Sociologists for Women in Society. Their mission statement is a numbered list of four items:
Encouraging the development of sociological feminist theory and scholarship
Transforming the academy through feminist leadership, career development, and institutional diversity
Promoting social justice through local, national, and international activism
Supporting the publication and dissemination of cutting edge feminist social science.
This association includes a Professional Needs Mentor Program (SWS Professional Needs Mentor Program), This program started out in the late 1980's as an Author-Mentor program. SWS members who needed help writing worked with a mentor for a year under this program but many of these relationships went beyond that scope and the program changed and evolved. They provide a wide range of services now.
There are public mentorship resources posted on the web page for the mentorship program.

Sociologists for Women in Society came to be as a response to "the status of women in society" in 1969, initially. This may be a response to the women's liberation movement in 1960-1970.

My thoughts regarding joining the organization
I could use help in professional aspects at times, the mentorship program may be very beneficial to a person like me who wants to change their life.
I think the value of the research provided by this group historically could be very beneficial to me. It would be good to connect with others who are interested in developing future generations. I believe in improving the life of women globally, so I think this would be an association I could join.
