Welcome
We believe that providing professional women with ways to stay connected to ACM-W will be a great source of personal support after graduation and support the next generation of technical women.
Goals
The following goals are emerging under our charge of establishing, connecting, and promoting ACM-W Professional Chapters.
- Goal 1: Establish model ACM-W Professional Chapters
- We look forward to connecting with existing professional chapters and working toward creating models to help new chapters get started. If you have a professional chapter, we want to hear from you. Send us a picture and list of projects you are working on.
- Goal 2: Connect ACM-W professional chapters to ACM-W student chapters
- We look forward to facilitating communication between student chapters and professional chapters to help with outreach and mentoring projects.
- Goal 3: Connect ACM-W professional chapters to ACM-W celebrations
- We look forward to facilitating communication between celebrations and professional chapters to help with conference participation.
- Goal 4: Connect ACM-W professional chapters to ACM-W student chapter alumni
- We look forward to helping professional chapters recruit recent graduates, especially those from colleges that have ACM-W student chapters. If you are a recent graduate and would like to get a professional chapter started, let us know. We can give you some ideas about how to get started.
- Goal 5: Promote ACM-W professional chapters
- Look for us at the regional Celebrations and conferences such as SIGCSE and NCWIT and keep checking our web pages and social media for new information.
