If you have been unsuccessfully trying to contact Alice Kelly, the 
National Director of Programs for Women and Mathematics, here is 
her home phone number: (408) 253-8440, and she has an answering
machine.  The number I posted before is her number at the University
of Santa Clara, but she isn't in the office much during summer. You
could also send a letter to her at the Mathematics Department of the
University of Santa Clara, Santa Clara, CA, 95053.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's part of my orignal
posting.

|I spoke with Alice Kelly, the National Director of Programs for the
|coming year.  Women and Mathematics was started in 1976.  It is
|primarily a speaker service, she said.  They do not separate the
|girls from the boys, and they try not to come across as militant
|feminists ("though of course we all are", she said as an aside :-).
|She said having boys in the audience might introduce them to the 
|possibility of working for a female manager someday.
|
|One joins Women and Mathematics by becoming a speaker.  Alice Kelly 
|suggested I call Jean Chan, the Program Director for Northern
|California, since she is compiling her list of speakers right now.
|Jean Chan is also the Chair of the Mathematics Department at Sonoma
|State University.  I've been trying to call her today at (707) 664-2368
|but no one answers, so I'm going to send a letter tomorrow.
|
|If you want to be a speaker and you live in some other part of the
|country, contact Alice Kelly at (408) 554-6811 and she will put 
|put you in touch with the Program Director nearest you.
