*Welcome*
 By Elaine Weyuker, co-Chair

 Welcome to the inaugural issue of the ACM-W newsletter. Our goal is to
highlight opportunities for women in computing of all ages and career
stages. Each issue will describe some of the exciting projects ACM-W and
other organizations offer, provide interviews of some of the leading women
in the field, hear stories from women computing professionals throughout the
world about important issues they face and projects they are initiating, and
celebrate the accomplishments of some of the remarkable women in our field.
