The ACM-W Council celebrates, informs and supports women in computing, and works with the ACM-W community of computer scientists, educators, employers and policy makers to improve working and learning environments for women.


Dr. Anita Borg, 1949-2003, was a wonderful friend and supporter of ACM-W and we all miss her greatly. You can read more about Anita's extraordinary life and achivements at the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology site.


ACM's Committee on Women in Computing has now been raised to a Council in the ACM organizational structure. Our new name is the ACM-W Council, and our charter states: "The ACM-W Council (AWC) will be chartered for the purpose of creating awareness of, interest in, and the need for elevating the issue of gender diversity within ACM as well as externally." The first meeting of the ACM-W council was held in Keystone Colorado on October 3 at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing.
