On October 13, 2016, the National Diversity Council is celebrating the most powerful women in technology right in the heart of Silicon Valley at the Hyatt Regency. The theme of the night is “Women in Tech: Inventors, Innovators and Entrepreneurs”. Dennis Kennedy, Founder and Chairman of the National Diversity Council explains, “These women are the most prominent leaders, and they have reached the top of their profession by being effective leaders in their organization. They drive change, innovate, and inspire others to succeed while contributing to business growth.”
There is no shortage of those in the Council’s selection of influential women. Well-known names like Sheryl Sandberg and Susan Wojcicki and Marissa Mayer dot the fifty-long list, but there are also plenty of under-appreciated tech stars who will be given their just do: powerful women like Tracy Keogh – Chief Human Resources Officer at HP – and Sarah Friar – Chief Financial Officer at Square.
Inventors, innovators and entrepreneurs like the named above will begin the night with an exclusive “meet and greet” at 5PM which is closed to non-awardees. There they’ll have the ability to chat with similarly powerful and like-minded peers in the technology industry. Afterwards, there will be a reception which will be open to non-awardees and celebrate the women whose daily contributions are being recognized by the National Diversity Council.
It validates the hard work that all of us do in the name of diversity and inclusion. It really brings home how important diversity and inclusion is in addition to women in leadership.
