I'm looking for any women who would be willing to participate in a proposed discussion panel at BADCamp.

I might also consider inviting one or two men to the panel with professional expertise on Gender Equality issues, if any step forward.

Materials on Male Advocacy from NCWIT

Hi Matt!

I wanted to make sure you know about the materials put together by the National Center for Women in Information Technology. They do a lot in this area.

You might also consider asking if they have someone who would sit on the panel. They led some great sessions during Denver Startup Week and I am guessing they are represented in the Bay Area.

Hope you are well,
Sadie

Wow, thanks, Sadie. So glad

I'm in the Bay Area and have been a woman in tech since 1995. This was a great topic discussed at DrupalCamp Montreal just last week.

Best,
Aimee :)

I've got confirmation that I'll be attending BADCamp and would like to participate on this panel. I've been in tech for the last 14 years - most of that freelancing. This year I became a fulltime employee for a national non-profit and as the only woman on our dev team I can provide some helpful information on what our org is doing right when it comes to working with women in tech.

Happy to join the panel
