3. EMPLOYERS: how do I post a job on the WAM job board?

Please e-mail the position description and the contact information to jobs AT womensaudiomission.org or use the contact form HERE with "job for job board" in the subject.

3. I want to form a chapter of WAM in my area, can you help me?

Unfortunately, WAM's 501c3 non-profit status and legal structure prevents the formation of formal chapters outside of our headquarters. WAM is more than happy to help support an informal WAM meet-up group in your area that could participate in our webcast member meetings. If you have some traction and have 10 or more women meeting regularly in your area, WAM would gladly advertise your events via our social networking channels and on our website as well as send out a packet of materials. However, groups cannot use the Women's Audio Mission name or offer training or events under the Women's Audio Mission name without written consent from the Board of Directors of Women's Audio Mission. This is necessary so that WAM can make sure that all of the activities we offer fall under our tax exempt purposes, are in line with our mission statement and allow us to maintain our high standards of education and events.

WAM also feels that with the current state of online technology, we are much more able to serve non-local members via our online programming. We hold regular webcast member meetings, free online events, and offer excellent online audio training through SoundChannel.org, a series of detailed, animated and narrated educational modules. SoundChannel.org can be accessed anywhere and anytime via the internet, allowing us to reach more women globally.

4. Can I teach a class at WAM?

We are happy to hear that you want to share you enthusiasm for audio with others. Keep in mind that WAM has very high standards and is on the forefront of college-level audio education with the innovative materials offered on SoundChannel.org which have been adopted by schools and universities all over the country. Our guest lecturers are typically college professors, GRAMMY-winning producers and recording engineers, professional musicians and experts from manufacturers. If you are one of the above and want to donate your time as a guest lecturer please contact us!

5. Can I be an intern at WAM's awesome recording studio?

Check out WAM's internship program.

6. Can I stop by or schedule a tour of the recording studio?

Unfortunately the WAM studio is usually booked solid with classes or recording sessions and we are also severely under-staffed so we cannot accommodate drop-in visits. We do offer monthly member meetings where we provide a tour of the facility and a chance to interact with WAM's staff. There are also many photos of the studio HERE.
