The OCWiC ACM-W Professional Chapter is a statewide community of women and men technology professionals from industry and academia, dedicated to engaging and empowering Ohio women in computing by building community, celebrating success, and illuminating possibility.

ACM-W Chapters provide a connection between student and professional chapters and the ACM-W international organization. Ohio is the home of the first ACM-W Professional Chapter in the US, joining the list of professional chapters worldwide. Our signature event is a conference for college women called a Celebration, modeled after the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing.
