The Political Game and Why Women Must Play

Politics is like baseball: You can never win if you don’t play!


Training and Development…Women Business Mentors…Educational Loans for Women in Technology: These issues and others are influenced by WITI Boston members in the business world every day. Nearly every issue that WITI members are committed to is also affected by politics and government.


Join us on April 30 for a special public policy evening: “The Political Game and Why Women Must Play - Politics is like baseball: You can never win if you don’t play!”


This panel discussion will help WITI Boston members identify:


  • how politics affects their businesses
  • how to shape public policies and who to turn to in government for assistance
  • a way to understand the women’s agenda at the State House and on Beacon Hill


Like baseball, you have to know the rules of the game. You have to identify team players and a game plan and you must stay in the game to win! This event will change even the biggest political cynic into a convert.


Politics affects everyone. Learn to create the advantage for women in technology!
