The session will facilitate a discussion on the challenges and successes of women participants in IT, how we have overcome the (the bad and the ugly) obstacles by bringing our unique skill sets to the table, and share ideas on (the good part) how to support your IT career goals, how to support other women in meetings and what actionable steps can we take home to improve our workplace, and create a more inviting and supportive/equal IT environment for women. Find out from colleagues how some women have navigated their way in tech and succeeded. Let’s discuss how ‘equal’ and ‘respectful’ are keys to success.
The panelists/facilitators:
- (1) Sr. Manager at Cal. who has been in the systems side for 40 years and had a fair share of great and ugly stories to share about being in technology (with mostly successful endings).
- (2) IT Program Manager/Business Systems Analyst for UCOP who has been in tech all her career (25+ years), was a consultant in major Bay Area companies for 10 years.
None, really. Both men and women are welcome. Would love to hear both sides
