Leoni Warne Prize
The Leoni Warne Prize recognizes outstanding publications in the area of women and information technology. ACPHIS is a proud co-sponsor of this prize. Leoni Warne was passionate, professionally, about two things: the information systems discipline and working to promote the role of women in IT. To honour Leoni Warne's contribution to our field, and specifically women and IT, the Australasian Association for Information Systems (AAIS), Australian Computer Society (ACS) and ACPHIS have combined to establish the Leoni Warne Prize. The Leoni Warne Prize is administered by AAIS. Nominations should reach the organisers by the first Friday in October and the shortlist will be announced on the last Friday in October. Further details about the prize along with submission guidelines can be found on the AAIS site:
