About Women In Technology

Women in Technology (WIT) empowers girls and women to excel in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math (STEAM) from the classroom to the boardroom. We do this by providing our community with education, exposure and experience.  By sharing the stories of successful professionals across the STEAM fields, we encourage all generations of girls and women to write their future.

Today, WIT has over 20,000 members in Georgia, 48,000 members worldwide and our team of more than 250 volunteers deliver professional development and networking opportunities to each of our professionals and programs at no charge to more than 4,000 students. WIT is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and we are committed to making Georgia the state with the highest percentage of women in the STEAM workforce by partnering with our community to provide opportunities that champion women throughout their education and career.

TESTIMONIALS

“Volunteering for WIT is the least I can do to repay this amazing organization for its huge impact in my life. As a female from the Middle East, my dream to become a computer engineer was met with many challenges and no support—until I found WIT. Through them, I was able to complete my bachelor’s degree and complete an internship with Fiserv. WIT helped me to believe in myself, and I want to share that inspiration with others.”

  • Sandy Ali, WIT YoPros Volunteer

“I can not adequately convey my appreciation for the WIT organization and their incredible volunteers who have supported both of my daughters over the past 10 years. Both of my girls loved the various events they attended: Behind the Scenes, Immersion, Job Shadow. Mentoring, and more. They learned a lot, but it was the encouragement, enthusiasm, and support of WIT that meant the most to both the girls and to us as parents. “

  • Debbie G, WIT Girls Parent

“I have been volunteering with WIT for almost 2 years. WIT is not only about Women, but also about Courage, Hope, Improvements and Love. After joining WIT this on-going revolution, I witnessed how fast I grow, how much power and motivation I gained, got to know so many inspirational role models in all kinds of areas and how they became such wonderful people. WIT is THE MOTIVATION!”

1995 – Creation of the executive auction now known as WIT Connect

WIT Connect is one of Atlanta’s most engaging and interactive events for STEAM leaders! For the past 20+ years we’ve auctioned off some of Atlanta’s most highly visible technology executives and raised over $3.2 million to support the development of young girls and the advancement of women in STEAM. WIT Connect is one of the premier fundraising and networking events of the year with over 700 top level executives in the technology field. In addition to our highly anticipated executive auction, it is also an evening where we focus on the mission of WIT. At this event, we highlight our WIT Girls and WIT Campus young women along with the impact WIT programs has had on their advancement in STEAM, which includes scholarship awards.
