CANWOW a hit!
Wednesday night, SFWoW hosted its first-ever recruiting party: CANWOW! The CANWOW (Career Advancement for Women on the Web) goal was to assist our skilled and talented women in the Bay Area move up into higher level jobs in the technology industry.
From my very biased opinion, it was a huge success! Recruiters and hiring managers mingled and chatted with SFWoW members and guests in the private room of the Bubble Lounge. Business cards were exchanged, champagne was drunk, and networking relationships were established.
For me personally, I was energized and inspired to be in a room with so many successful and supportive women. I think the Bay Area really is a unique and special place where all of us geeky, techie women can support and encourage each other as we advance through our careers.
A special thanks to Rebecca Kidder, SFWoW Vice President, and Anna Billstrom, SFWoW President, for their crazy energy and dedication to make this event a reality. And thank you to all of the volunteers who helped organize the event, and who volunteered that night.
And thank you again to our wonderful sponsors, WordPress and Tatu Digital! We are grateful for companies who support and value diversity in the technology industry!
