Who we are...
AIWAV, the American and International Women’s Association of Venice, consists of a growing, diverse group of women of all ages, interests, ethnicities, nationalities and beliefs but who consider themselves primarily to be of an ‘international’ inclination whether having just arrived in the city or born here.
AIWAV was created in 2019, but its development was obviously put on pause during the Pandemic years. In 2022, the association started to sign up members and hold regular events around Venice.
We are formally affiliated with www.fawco.org, the Federation of American Women’s Clubs Overseas. Read more about us below.

As we begin to develop and grow, there are inevitably some costs which a nominal membership fee will cover. In return, it is hoped that the members will appreciate the many benefits of being part of this club.
The current costs of the club are
Annual FAWCO registration fee
Annual website running costs
Administrative Costs
Any fees that are not spent on the annual running costs will be put into an account for future needs. If there is surplus, it is proposed that the funds will go towards the club events and any good causes the club adopts on a 50/50 basis.
