APC WNSP’s Karen Banks Wins Anita Borg Award for Social Impact

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay — “Our strategy is to get women central, active and 
visible in all walks of technology. We don’t want it to be a surprise to 
see a woman running a wireless shop, fixing a pc, or leading a campaign 
to break with the telecom monopoly in her country.” -- For nearly 15 
years Karen Banks and the APC Women’s Networking Support Programme (APC 
WNSP) have worked to bring technology to underserved women and 
communities. Their work will be recognised at the Grace Hopper 
Celebration of Women in Computing conference on October 7 in Chicago, 
USA. - APCNews
