"Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen” (Alan Keith)
And yes, I’m glad to say that we’re extremely fortunate to have an extraordinary pool of talented leaders in Georgia. Just ask Women in Technology (WIT) why it’s been so successful over the years. At entry level, the mid-level executive level, and as senior managers at the board level, many, many talented professionals rolled up their sleeves and got the organization off the ground, championed our growth, and are making extraordinary contributions to our business and civic life.
Which is why – drumroll please – we always delight in celebrating our leaders. Now in its 11th year, we will recognize this year’s crop of nominees and winners at WIT's Women of the Year in Technology Awards presented by Grant Thornton (WIT Awards), to be held November 10, 2010. This year, WIT Awards honors 52 female technology executives for their accomplishments as leaders in business, visionaries of technology and for making a difference in our communities. Meet the 201o Honorees here.
First presented in 2000, WIT Awards honored a single winner as Woman of the Year in Technology until 2005 when three separate categories were introduced: Enterprise, Small/Medium Business, and Not for Profit/Public Sector. In 2007 the categories were modified to Enterprise, Midmarket/Medium Business, and Emerging/Small Business.
To date, 14 winners are members of the WIT Awards Hall of Fame and we are proud to salute them. For more info visit http://www.mywit.org/
