Newsletter | ACM-W supporting, celebrating and advocating for Women in Computing

Welcome from the ACM-W Chair

Welcome from the ACM-W Chair – June 2021
We’ve reached the end of another year of programming for ACM-W. And what a year it has been! In spite of the challenges we’ve faced, ACM-W activity worldwide continued in the form of virtual Celebrations, Chapter activities, and our webinar series, Celebrating Technology Leaders. My heartfelt thanks to those who worked hard and used creativity to ensure that we could continue to support, celebrate and advocate for all women in computing.
As has become customary, the ACM-W leadership team will be taking a little time off in the coming weeks and then working in earnest to plan for the next year’s activities. Consequently, there will not be a newsletter in July or August, but we’ll look forward to connecting again in September.
Thanks for standing with us as we work to fulfill our mission.
Jodi Tims, ACM-W Chair
