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
