Something amazing happened December.
Fresh from the excitement of BarCamp Manchester, I met with two lovely ladies, Kelley Muir and Bethany Ross, for coffee at Cafe la Reine to discuss how we can support current and future women in tech right here in Manchester.
Bethany had already kicked off a group, Future Tech Women, that is mentoring college women at UNH. Kelley and I chatted at BarCamp, as she was interested in fostering interest in younger students and I was hopeful to get a regular meeting for women currently working in technology.
We decided to join forces (and resources) to work on making it all happen.
Our working mission statement is that we're aimed at creating and supporting an inclusive community that encourages women and girls in STEM-related fields. Boo-ya! Well, all but that last bit.
I'm happy to report that the Women in Tech Hangout had its inaugural meeting on Tuesday December 10. Dyn was gracious enough to provide space as approximately 12-15 of us chatted about what technology means to us.
So, it's official! The Women in Tech Hangout now meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month from 6:30-8pm at Dyn in Manchester, NH. Hope to see you there!
Join us for the January meeting on Tuesday January 29th at 6:30pm.
