The Association for Women in Computing (AWC) is a national organization that encourages, promotes, and serves the interest of women in computing.

AWC was founded in 1978. 20+ years of success!

The Washington, DC Chapter (AWC-DC) serves Washington, DC; northern Virginia; and suburban Maryland. Our chapter meets on the 4th Monday of the month for an evening presentation. Meeting topics include technical discussions, business practices, demos, career management, and workshops.

In June, 2001 our name changed from the National Capital Chapter to the Washington, DC Chapter. Our domain is now awcdc.org.

Mark your calendars for these upcoming evening meetings!
