SIGCAS, ACM's Special Interest Group on Computers & Society, is honoring
two award-winners and convening panels on a variety of topics.

Diana Kosaraju, the winner of SIGCAS's Making a Difference has been
involved in innovative projects involving women in computing around the
world. She has a degree in Gender and Women’s Studies U.C. Berkeley and is
currently pursuing a Masters in Information Systems Engineering from Johns
Hopkins University. Deanna was awarded the Women of Influence Award by the
Silicon Valley Business Journal in 2010.

Plus!  Hear leaders in Climate Change and Computing, Social Issues in
Computing Education, two panels on social issues and the computing industry
including Computing after COVID & more!

We're also having a special Town Hall at the event. Please help us
establish our agenda for SIGCAS as we move into the Cybercene. I and the
other board members are eager to discuss issues and interests and possible
events and projects with SIGCAS members and other attendees.

There's no obligation to join SIGCAS to attend the Showcase, nor is there
any obligation to join ACM to join SIGCAS — but we'd love to have you join
us.

You can join SIGCAS here:

What are the issues brought about by computerization and what should be
done about them?

How do we understand the opportunities and challenges?

We welcome your voice and your ideas and membership in SIGCAS is a bargain!
