What are we missing without more women participating in information technology? As our CEO Lucy Sanders once observed, "You can't measure absence." To help foster great potential that otherwise may have gone unrecognized, and to help foster great ideas that might never have come to fruition, NCWIT has established two awards: the NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing (sponsored by Bank of America) and the NCWIT Academic Alliance Seed Fund Award (sponsored by Microsoft).
