Women of Innovation...It Starts In School
In our business, we have multiple customers who operate in the tech sector...a place where independent channel partners are the dominant form of distribution. I also sit on the Board of the CT Technology Council, a trade association comprised of large and small tech companies. So it is common that I hear concerns about the lack of qualified employees for tech jobs, worries about declining math and science educational achievement, and the dearth of girls pursuing technical careers.
Thus, I read with some happines a very nice article on CRN's The Buzz Blog by Heather Clancy about a network integrator in Warwick, RI -- Atrion Networking, that is doing something about shoring up the future workforce, and attacking the lack of women pursuing science and education careers. The GRRL Tech Expo is a cool idea and deserves more airplay.
Great stuff.
