[OCWIC] OCWIC 2009 - General Chair Announcement

[Bettina Bair]

I am pleased to announce that Dr Ellen Walker, Professor of Computer Science
at Hiram College, will be the General Chair for the Ohio Celebration of
Women in Computing (OCWIC) conference in 2009.  Dr Walker was program chair
of the original OCWIC conference in 2005, and registration chair for OCWIC
in 2007.  She has continued to be an energetic and steadfast champion of
women in computing.

Ellen Walker was recently chosen as one of 15 CRA-W Distinguished Professors
to participate in the 2006-07 National Science Foundation sponsored Cohort
of Associate Professors Program (CAPP). CRA-W is the Committee on the Status
of Women in Computing Research of the Computing Research Association.

I am confident that Ellen will bring the highest level of quality and care
to the role of OCWIC General Chair.  And I will remain on the OCWIC planning
committee in an advisory role (so I get to wear a tiara at all future OCWIC
events!)

Please join me in supporting and congratulating Ellen on her new role.

:-)
