Women in HPC November 2021 Newsletter
It has been a while since we last shared a newsletter with you. Hopefully, going forward, we will soon be able to reinstate a regular update from Women in HPC. However, this month, we wanted to share two important messages with the membership.
First, it is a little over a week until Supercomputing 2021, which is happening online and in St. Louis, November 14th - 19th. Women in HPC will be running several sessions at the conference, with options for both in-person and online participation.
Second, we wanted to let you know about a change to our Privacy Statement, which will make it much easier for you to engage with your chosen WHPC Chapter or Affiliate.
More details on both topics are appended below.
Stay safe and take care,
— The WHPC Team

Updates to the Women in HPC Privacy Statement
We have updated the privacy statement published on our website to note that we will share your name and email address with the designated representative of any WHPC Chapters or Affiliate that you request to join. We are making this change as we understand it is currently difficult for our WHPC Chapters and WHPC Affiliate to communicate with their members and we wanted to make sure people did not miss out on activities and events in their locality.
If you do not wish us to share your name and email address with a WHPC Chapter or WHPC Affiliate, then please update your membership preferences on the website (see link in the footer of this newsletter) by the end of November, or contact info@womeninhpc.org, if you have any questions or comments.
