The Girls in Tech Boise leadership team had an amazing time participating in Radio Boise's live program, "That's Woman's Work" this week. We were so excited to experience live radio and to get the opportunity to spread the word about Girls in Tech to the Treasure Valley.
Krissa Wrigley, Kristen Cheyney, and I addressed the issues of why young women aren't entering the technology field and also why women are leaving the field at record rates. We focused on issues such as the media's influence, sexual harrassment in the workplace, and work/life balance. We also discussed what people can do to join our cause and promote women in technology. It was an exciting program and we left that night feeling inspired to bring women together in Boise who are passionate about technology.
Although we don't have a video feed of our program, we have created a series of YouTube's with audio clips of the show. Thank you to our new Girls in Tech Boise member Denise for volunteering to take some great pictures of us as we were on the show.
