The NCWIT Academic Alliance (AA) is a collaboration of organizations, mostly in the United States, that are all working to increase women’s meaningful participation in computing and technology. The number in the circle represents how many AA organizations are in any given location. By placing your cursor directly on the center of the circled number and clicking within the circle, you will be shown the AA member organizations within the location. To find the individuals representing the member organizations, you would need to look them up by organization here.
