Over the course of many years, Stephanie Weirich has generously dedicated
6+
time and energy towards building a better SIGPLAN community,
7+
through a variety of formal and informal roles.
8+
She co-founded the highly impactful Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW)
9+
and continues to help the workshop evolve and thrive as it welcomes new generations
10+
of researchers to the most important events of the SIGPLAN community.
11+
Stephanie was also one of the founding members of the SIGPLAN CARES committee,
12+
an important resource for those who may have experienced discrimination or harassment
13+
in the PL community. She was an early supporter of, and continues to be a dedicated mentor for,
14+
the SIGPLAN long-term mentoring program.
15+
It is no coincidence that the program started at ICFP 2020, a conference Stephanie chaired,
16+
and in which she worked tirelessly to find creative ways to engage with the community despite
17+
the circumstances, some of which spun off into larger initiatives, like SIGPLAN-M.
18+
ICFP 2020 was only the second SIGPLAN conference to be held virtually following the onset of the Covid pandemic.
19+
Running ICFP 2020 required an enormous amount of preparation and organization,
20+
and it is a testament to the hard work of Stephanie and care that the conference was able to run more or
21+
less normally and provided crucial structure to subsequent virtual conferences. 
22+
Stephanie has also done a significant amount of what one might call invisible service---impactful community work that
23+
is often not noticed despite being thoughtful and effective.
24+
These and other service roles Stephanie has taken on have fundamentally improved the structure of the SIGPLAN community.
