Wow.

48 meetings and more than 15 years have gone by so fast. It’s fitting my last meeting is in San Francisco, the true home of M3AAWG. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have served as your Executive Director, and it has been a privilege to help create and grow such a valuable organization. I am also grateful for the experience of getting to know and becoming friends with so many wonderful people.

Our Commitment in M3AAWG to Diversity and Inclusion – A “Pioneers in Skirts” Endorsement

Submitted by M3AAWG Content Manager on Aug 15, 2019

Here at M3AAWG, we seek to improve the lives of people by improving the security and trust of our digital communications. For our efforts to be meaningful, our solutions must work for all people and consider how they will affect diverse groups of people, directly and indirectly. Therefore we have been educating our members on problems above and beyond their respective fields of expertise. People make the difference in fighting abuse, and as an organization run by volunteers, we know and understand that the solutions to complex problems must include this knowledge and understanding.
