The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Association for
Women in Computing is part of a national organization.
AWC was founded by fifteen women in Washington,
D.C. in 1978, and it is one of the first professional
organizations for women in computing. The initial
purpose of the group was to establish and encourage
communication among women in computing. The scope of the organization
has grown to include
professional networking, continuing education,
and mentoring.
The Ann Arbor
Chapter is one of the largest chapters and is
affiliated with the IT Zone, the Ann Arbor Computer
Society (AACS), Network Downtown, Computer Science Alumnae of Michigan (CSAM), the New Enterprise Forum (NEF), the Center for the Education of Women (CEW), and the Ann Arbor Community Foundation (AAACF).
