What's New?
           The ACM India Council was launched to recognize and support indian members and activities; as part of the launch, ACM-W sponsored a special event to encourage and support women in computing hosted by ACM-W Ambassador to India Gayatri Buragohain.
           The Grace Hopper Regional Consortium, a partnership of ACM-W, the Anita Borg Institute (ABI), and the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT), was newly formed as a result of receiving a $1.2-million NSF/BPC Grant to develop self-sustaining communities – regional conferences and ACM-W Student Chapters. Regional celebrations of women in computing were initially developed by Gloria Townsend, Lead PI and Executive Member of the ACM-W Council.
