As Chair of CompTIA's Advancing Women in Tech Executive Community, I am proud to work towards a powerful mission:
- Empower women with resources and information to positively impact their technology careers
- Inspire women to choose careers in technology
- Help technology businesses create cultures that support a diverse workforce
Recently my husband Jay McBain joined our wonderful council and we decided to do some research (credit to him for the idea, vision) to see how many other women in Tech Groups there were out there, and how we can connect and unite forces.
This is the most comprehensive listing of Women in Technology groups found anywhere on the internet.
The research was focused on 8 categories:
1. Professional Organizations
2. Media & Community
3. Empowering Younger Women
4. Regional Groups
5. Coding
6. Education
7. Accelerators / Investors
8. Creative Spaces
Additionally, these Top 100 Women in Technology Organizations can be followed in this Twitter list.
If you are female and thinking about entering the technology field, this is the place to start! Each of these organizations have shown success utilizing innovative methods of encouraging, enabling and empowering women in technology.
Here are the Top 100 Global Women in Technology Organizations:
