The Anita Borg Institute is writing women into technical history. Thousands of women throughout the world are leading technology innovation. They often go unnoticed and unrewarded. ABI has created a set of awards to honor these distinguished technical women. I am writing to see whether you might want to nominate someone that you know through your work, or perhaps apply for the award yourself.
The Anita Borg Change Agent Awards honor technical women that live and work outside the United States. They are change agents in their communities ? working to attract and support women in technology in their regions in developing countries. Recipients are recognized for their technical leadership and advocacy work. ? The application deadline has been EXTENDED to Friday, May 14, 2010 at 11:59pm EST ? Eastern Standard Time. ? For more information see http://anitaborg.org/initiatives/awards/change-agent-awards/ ? To submit a nomination go to https://ssl.linklings.net/organizations/abi/ For information on other Anita Borg awards go to http://anitaborg.org/initiatives/awards. The awards celebration will be held September 30, 2010 at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference in Atlanta, GA. The award includes free conference registration and travel expenses.
