The WIT Network is a global movement dedicated to empowering women in technology and championing gender equity in the workplace. With a reach of over 14,000 members spanning 80 countries and 50 corporate partners, we offer dynamic local and global events, education, mentorship, and sponsorship opportunities to drive change. Our work is crucial. The tech industry’s gender gap isn't solely a women's issue; it has broad economic and societal impacts. Research shows that diverse teams drive greater innovation and enhanced productivity. Who wouldn't want enhanced innovation and productivity? Through our programs, we strive to break barriers, bridge gaps, and build an inclusive, diverse tech community where everyone can thrive. Come and be a part of our community! https://bit.ly/3AOVZXd #TheWITNetwork #Network #Community #PersonalDevelopment

Corporate Member Spotlight: TD Bank! Partnering with TD Bank, a financial institution rather than a traditional #tech company, brings a unique and powerful dimension to The WIT Network's mission of driving gender equity in technology. It highlights the essential truth that tech innovation transcends industries, touching every sector, including #finance . "Having women working in technology makes a massive impact,” says Abby Webster, Senior Product Group Manager at TD. "If you don’t have that #diverse perspective, you are missing out on so much knowledge and lived experiences that help solve problems from a customer-centric point of view." https://loom.ly/ZBsIRQY Thank you, TD Bank, for championing women in tech! Time for a #WITwave ! Who do you know from TD Bank? Tag them below! @Sandra Zoratti, @Jennifer Weber, @Mousumi Roy, @Vandana Khanna, Christine Bongard

Language matters in learning! Research shows that understanding content in your native language leads to better retention and productivity. That’s why The WIT Network is proud to now offer mentoring circles and webinars in Spanish! This initiative is led by Luisa Colmenares and Diana Ahl, MSEd., PCC, ELI-MP who are passionate about creating more opportunities for growth and success for Spanish-speaking members of The WIT Network. We’d love your help in getting the word out- if you know someone who speaks Spanish and would love our The WIT Network programming, tag them below!

Trailblazer Alert: Women Breaking Barriers in Sports and Leadership! From the WNBA filling arenas to “The Sports Bra” bar franchising with a focus on women’s sports, we're witnessing a powerful shift in gender equity across the sports world! Breaking Barriers was the theme of this year's WOMANAgement Conference, and who better to highlight than Jessica Campbell? It took 107 years for the NHL and 86 years for the AHL to welcome their first full-time female coach. Jessica Campbell’s groundbreaking role with the Seattle Kraken’s is a testament to her resilience and to the progress being made across sports. https://lnkd.in/erPjCYDT We just love the quote by her General Manager, Ron Francis: “The job she’s done is the reason why we hired her. We didn’t hire her because she was female. We hired her because she was a good coach,” Francis said. “She has an interesting background, not only skating but skill development and that’s a big part of what they’ve been able to do at Coachella Valley.” Hopefully, we continue to see an upward trend and the shattering of more glass ceilings. Who's a trailblazer you'd like us to feature? #WOMANagement #WomenLeaders #Leadership #GlassCeiling
