FORGED - Fostering Opportunities, Resilience, Growth, Empowerment and Development

Join us every Friday morning at 9:00 am PT for the F.O.R.G.E.D. Leadership Community for Women, where we champion the empowerment of women in technology.

FORGED serves as a haven for women leaders, offering a curated and secure space to candidly discuss the triumphs, challenges, and evolving landscapes of their professional lives. Our community boasts a unique problem consultancy model, allowing members to leverage the collective wisdom of their peers for invaluable feedback and guidance.

At these weekly sessions, women leaders unite to delve into pressing industry issues, share insights, and explore personalized strategies for success in the dynamic tech arena. Our emphasis lies in fostering a nurturing environment that fosters open dialogue, cultivates connections, and amplifies each woman's voice.

Join us as we redefine leadership paradigms, cultivate resilience, and forge ahead together in the ever-evolving world of technology.
