The Foundation provided me with great support and opportunities during my PhD; it is both an honour and a pleasure to promote its mission and causes.

We are fortunate to have a range of people who share our cause and have agreed to act as our 100A1 Ambassadors. They are associated in different ways with the Foundation including people from our grants community, Advisory Council, Trustees and colleagues and employees from LR.
The 100A1 programme is in its early stages and the list of current ambassadors appears below. This will grow as the scheme progresses. Our 100A1 Ambassadors will be promoting the work of the Foundation and raise awareness of our mission.
The Foundation's mission embodies an attractive engagement in societal advance, and the C and C++ languages that I work on originated with Bell Labs, who also follow that impulse.
