🌟 Ready to make a difference in computing? 🌟
With the new academic year underway, there’s no better time to consider starting an ACM-W Chapter! Did you know that only 27% of the computing workforce are women? Let’s change that by building supportive, inclusive spaces on campuses and in our communities.
💻 Why Start an ACM-W Chapter?
Whether you're a student or a professional, an ACM-W Chapter can provide a dedicated space for women in computing to connect, share experiences, and access resources to grow and thrive. For students, it’s a chance to develop leadership skills, network, and find support among peers and mentors. Professional chapters foster collaboration between academia, industry, and local tech communities, making a real impact on diversity.
📍 Getting Started
Student Chapters: Lead a group at your campus and support women studying computing. Requires a Chair, Vice Chair (ACM Student Members), and a Faculty Sponsor.
Professional Chapters: Collaborate with like-minded individuals across your city. A Chair, Vice Chair, and Treasurer (ACM Professional Members) are needed.
🌐 Resources & Benefits
From the ACM Chapter in a Box guide to One Hundred One Ideas for ACM-W Chapters, you’ll have resources on hand for everything from planning events to recruiting members. Plus, chapters can access ACM-W funding, complimentary ACM subscriptions, and be part of international initiatives like the ACM-WE Celebrations and the Buddy Programme.
Joining the ACM-W network means becoming part of a global community dedicated to advancing women in computing. 💪 Ready to take the first step? Let’s shape the future together!
