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:
- day-to-day operation of networks, servers, clients, and devices
- help desk
- network architecture design
- information security management
We also want to include women who work in other aspects of information technology aimed at keeping clients and servers up and running, like
- program/project/people management related to IT
- technical training
- technical marketing
- technical communications
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:
- What are the best times of day for you to Skype into a meeting? (please include your time zone)
- What should we call this new user group?
If there's interest, I'll pick a time and post the information here for our first virtual meeting.
