Women on the Move
Dr. Laura Haas elected as a Fellow by the Association for Computing Machinery
Dr. Laura Haas, IBM Distinguished Engineer and Director of Computer Science at IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, was just elected as a Fellow by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) for her research leadership and contributions to federated database systems. In her career, Dr. Haas has been a key force in transforming the information management discipline from a focus on individual, largely relational database management systems, to one centered on providing a rich information infrastructure for all types of information. As an innovator and leader, she drove the technology foundations of three generations of research projects on integration of diverse information, producing not only innovative technologies and papers, but also shaping IBM products and research directions both in IBM and across the industry.

Upcoming Network Events:
"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
