Local Communities

Networking for Life

Networking opens doors to numerous opportunities.

Join your local community today and empower your personal network for success!

Building a strong community empowers women to advocate for better policies and practices within their organizations and the broader tech industry. A united front can challenge stereotypes, promote diversity, and work towards a more inclusive and equitable workplace. This sense of belonging combats feelings of isolation, particularly for those who might be in the minority in their workplaces and fosters a culture of shared success and mutual support.

Community Leadership

Consider volunteering to lead a local community for The WIT Network!  

Leading a community helps to build a supportive network, allowing women to navigate opportunities and challenges together. As a Community Leader, your role is multifaceted and impactful. This benefits you personally, professionally, and you'll make a difference in your community. 

You can also directly address barriers women face in tech, create tailored resources, and establish mentorship programs, ensuring long-term support and sustainability. In this way, your leadership not only contributes to your own growth but also leaves a lasting impact on the industry, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for future generations.

What skills are needed to be a community leader?

First and foremost, you possess a passion for networking and supporting women in the technology ecosystem. Other skills to be developed/strengthened: 

• Leadership
  
• Marketing and Communication
  
• Event Planning
  
• Collaboration

On a personal level, leading such a community can be empowering, building your leadership skills, self-confidence, and providing a sense of fulfillment from giving back to a supportive network.

Professionally, it offers significant advantages like expanding your network, enhancing project management and public speaking skills, and potentially opening doors for career advancement due to increased visibility and recognition.

On a broader scale, you might be driven by a passion for advocating gender equality and diversity within the tech industry. By serving as a role model, you can inspire other women and girls to pursue tech careers and leadership roles.
