• ACM‐W, the Community of Support for Women in Computing, advocates internationally for full engagement of women in all aspects of computing
• Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing provides a supportive networking environment for under‐represented groups in computing and information technology fields
• CSTA, the Computer Science Teachers Association addresses how K-12 teachers can broaden the pipeline of the future computing workforce
• ACM is a long-time supporter of AnitaB.org’s Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing and of the CRA-W Grad Cohort for Women program

To ensure that its governance and activities involve people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, ACM has created a cross-cutting group that coordinates and promotes diversity and inclusion efforts throughout the organization.
