Girls in Tech LA is excited to be sponsoring WITI‘s Summer Networking Social! This is an annual favorite for WITI LA and this year they are taking it ocean side to Shanghai Red’s in Marina Del Rey.
Before Yahoo or Google ever existed, there was Women In Technology International (WITI). Carolyn Leighton founded WITI in 1989 (known then as The International Network of Women in Technology) as a worldwide e-mail network for women in all technology sectors. At the time WITI was established, Ms. Leighton was President of Criterion Research, a research consulting firm for the high tech industry which she founded in 1984, as well as chair of the Core Competency Database Project at Stanford University. Due to Ms. Leighton’s leadership and vision, WITI has grown to be the premiere brand and worldwide organization dedicated to empowering women worldwide to achieve unimagined possibilities and transformations through technology, leadership and economic prosperity. Ms. Leighton has 35 years of experience as an educator and entrepreneur. In addition to WITI, she founded four start-ups in the high-tech, legal sectors and, most recently, the pet industry. Ms. Leighton was named one of the “Top 100 Women in Computing” in 1997 and 2000.
We had the pleasure of partnering with WITI for our Summer Mixer last month, so it’s only fitting to sponsor one of their largest networking events of the year. All GIT LA members will be able to to use the code ‘gitwitila’ to get tickets for the WITI member price. Hope to see you there!
