Why did you start volunteering with WIT?

After being in a male-dominated career for 25+ years, I was elated to learn about WIT. I started volunteering at the WIT Forum events. I loved meeting the women and learning that we all shared common experiences while navigating careers in the tech industry. The power and sense of community is invaluable.
