History of the Women's High-Tech Coalition
A Bridge Between the Public and Private Sectors
Throughout the year the Women's High Tech Coalition sponsors various events
bringing industry and policy makers, from both the Congress and the Executive
Branch, in a setting that allows for an exchange of ideas related to the world
of high tech. The topics vary depending on the current issues of the day, but
recent discussions have included broadband policy, cybersecurity, and intellectual
property rights.
WHTC provides a unique setting that leaves behind partisan
bickering, while engaging in thoughtful and intellectual discussions about
how to advance the interests of technology at the federal level. Each event
has its own location and setting, but most take place in and around the Capitol
Hill area, along with a small number of events hosted by the California or
New York chapters within their respective states.
WHTC is always welcoming
new members, so whether you are involved in the policy making process, have
a career in the field of technology, or just have a lay interest, please become
a member to be included in our next event!
The Women's High Tech Coalition (WHTC) was founded in November of 2000 as
a membership organization existing to support the professional needs of women
in both the public and private sectors.
- Women who work in the high-tech, IT and ecommerce industries;
- Women who work in policy development related to these industries.
By providing legislative updates, issue analysis and access to key government
officials and industry executives, the Coalition helps its members understand
the latest industry changes and their impact on policy.
