5 | | - 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. |
