About Ann Arbor AWC

The Association for Women in Computing was formed in 1978 in Washington DC. They have a web page at http://www.awc-hq.org. The AWC is a not-for-profit, professional organization for individuals with an interest in information technology. AWC is dedicated to the advancement of women in the computing fields, in business, industry, science, education, government, and the military.

The local chapter was formed in 1993. At some point it stopped meeting for several years. In 1998 the local chapter formed again, and quickly grew to be the third largest chapter of AWC! We are very proud of the professional bandwidth of our membership.

On our two mailing lists we talk about everything from women in the business world to career opportunities to what classes a computer science student should take next year, or how to break into the field if you've been doing something else. Please do join the discussions!

This website was originally designed by Valerie Mates. The current design is by Barbara Eckstein. She put together the graphics and layout using scripts developed by Valerie. The site is now updated by several AWC officers.

Many thanks to the Huron Valley Community Network for hosting our mailing lists and web pages.
