Women & Hi Tech Announces Call for 2023 Board of Directors Nominations
Founded in 1999 in Indianapolis by a female scientist from Eli Lilly & Company and a female academic from Indiana University, Women & Hi Tech exists to change the landscape of women represented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to be equally inclusive to all. To achieve our goal, we work to mentor, advance, recognize, and connect female STEM students and professionals with each other and our community in Indiana. Our members and sponsors represent a wide array of STEM fields, including life sciences, accounting, engineering, psychology, statistics, and information technology.
Women & Hi Tech is run by an all-volunteer, working Board of Directors. We are looking for candidates that will bring wisdom, experience, effectiveness, candor, and creative thinking.
