Resumen
The mission of the ACM Women's Council (ACM-W) is to inform and support women in computing. Since ACM is an international organization, this means developing programs with a worldwide reach. Some of its active programs include scholarships to help women students attend research conferences. It looks to support the undergraduate woman by giving her a chance to see the types of options available and encourage her to continue on to graduate school. Another unique ACM-W initiative is the Ambassador program in which a woman serves as the Ambassador from her country and shares information about the climate there for women in computing. This is just a sampling of the many programs within ACM-W created to promote and further advance women in the computing field.
