If you're a woman in the ICT industry, you can help by becoming a mentor
through the BICSI Mentorship Program or other mentoring opportunities
with your local high schools, vocational schools, and community colleges.
You can lend your support and expertise to organizations like Girls Who
Code, the National Girls Collaborative Project, and others. You can
encourage diversity within your organization by hiring and promoting more
women, recommending women for awards and recognition, and amplifying
acknowledgment of female contributions.
But one of the most impactful things ANY of us can do is to show other
women that we are experts and integral to the ICT industry. So become a
BICSI member to make your vote count, join Women in BICSI, volunteer
on a committee, contribute to standards development, attend and speak
at regional events and conferences, or write an article. And in whatever
you do, take a front-row seat, raise your hand, and speak up, because
the only way we will make a bigger wave is to normalize being seen and
being heard.
Share Your Story with Women in BICSI
