The work of Women in Technology has an incredible impact.
Since 1992, Women in Technology has had a mission dedicated to promoting the advancement of women in Georgia’s technology community. Through the WIT COMMUNITY, WIT also educates and encourages girls and young women to pursue careers in STEAM.
In her new role as leader of the 25-year-old non-profit, Penny Collins will provide strategic direction to fulfill the vision of WIT and further WIT’s impact in the community.
