Are you interested in helping support women ITPros, and support women moving into community leadership roles in the ITPro community? We're starting a virtual User Group for ITPro Women.
Join us!
There are lots of organizations that want to help women code, but we want to focus more on women who keep the code running, doing work like:
We also want to include women who work in other aspects of information technology aimed at keeping clients and servers up and running, like
We'll welcome anyone of any gender who wants to participate in a safe space to talk about the challenges women face in a field with a lack of gender diversity. The goals are to network, support women learning technical and professional skills, and help women find mentors.
If you're interested in participating, reply to this post and tell me:
If there's interest, I'll pick a time and post the information here for our first virtual meeting.

Please spread the word!

Thanks for the great first meeting. I'm glad to be part of this. I feel it's past time that women who are in IT but aren't coders get a chance to both support upcoming woman IT Professionals, but also be supported. It's high time. We need more women at the table when IT makes decisions that effect an entire, diverse, organization. Thanks again.

Is there a place where we can subscribe to be a member of the group or are people just joining the Skype call for now? I saw this on Twitter so would like to subscribe as a member otherwise I suspect I might miss a meeting notice.
Thanks,

Hello Cathy!
Thank you for creating such an awesome group :)
I signed up but now I am confused on where to keep a track discussions/posts as well as Skype meetings? I am based in Dubai and available to join the meetings anytime :)
Could you please keep me posted as well while sending the meeting invites?
