About Advancing Women In Tech

AWIT is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that empowers women and members of other underrepresented groups to the highest levels of tech leadership

Focusing on skills-based workshops, advocacy and mentorship, AWIT actively addresses the gaps in management roles its members face going from mid-senior and director-level roles into executive positions.

Together with our sponsors and partners, AWIT has helped over 300 women obtain senior-level roles and promotions

"We provide training and upskilling opportunities to broaden the leadership pipeline for women and other underrepresented individuals within the tech industry."
