100 Women in Tech

It was very nice to be included again this year as one of the 100 Women in Tech as selected by Puget Sound Business Journal Tech Flash.  There was a recognition event on Wednesday evening this week where the 100 Women in Tech in attendance were recognized by Emory Thomas, PSBJ Publisher.  About half of us were there!  Christine Chen, former Q13 Fox News Anchor moderated the program and Lucinda Stewart of OVP Venture Partners, Trish Millines Dziko, ZINO Society member and Executive Director of Technology Access Foundation, and Yoky Matsuoka, associate professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington all participated on the  “100 Women in Tech Expert Panel”.

From the panel, an interesting “a-ha” was the grim statistics shared with the audience about the percentage of women who actually do go into technology or science related career fields. Trish made the point that “women should be investing in women and that we can’t wait for someone else to do it for us”.  Good advice!
