WITI's Feature Story
"Are
you one of the many women who live an overstressed life in
this 24 by 7, do-it-now world? Are you constantly in multitask
mode, instant messaging while in meetings, conference calling
or 2-way messaging while driving or boarding planes? There
seems to be no reprieve as the treadmill perpetually speeds
up. This always-on lifestyle may be putting you at risk for
a heart attack or stroke. You may think that you're too young
for that, or not at risk. That's what I used to think, too,
until I had a close call. Here's
my story." -Mellanie Hills.
New on WITI Discussion Boards: Women and Health!
We want to get WITI women talking and we encourage you
to share your experiences. Go to our
discussion board and let's talk with Mellanie Hills
about her article "Take Back Control...Your Health Depends
on It!" She will be on the WITI discussion boards later
this week answering your questions and responding to your
thoughts on women and health. Let's build, empower and inspire
one another by sharing what we know and supporting each
other.

Myths and Assumptions about Money!
By Carolyn Leighton, CEO/Chairwoman/Founder, WITI
Even
though my parents ran a business and managed a household
that included 11 children, money was never openly discussed,
but the central theme as to how they felt about money was
silently and powerfully communicated - "money is bad, education
is good ".
However, when it came to managing money,
my parents represented complete opposites. On one side,
my father constantly worried about having enough money to
pay all the bills for running the business and taking care
of such a large family. On the other side, my mother always
spent or gave away whatever she had, believing "the universe
would provide".

WITI Chapter Directors
WITI is currently looking for Regional Chapter Directors.
Launching and operating a WITI Chapter can be a very rewarding
and satisfying experience. WITI Chapters provide women
unique opportunities to develop professionally and personally
through shared experiences and networking. As a WITI Chapter
Director you will have the opportunity to create a platform
for women involved in technology, to share their knowledge,
inspire and support each other, expand their business
contacts, and improve their skills. You will interact
directly with some of the most exciting professional women
who will speak at WITI Chapter meetings, and you will
experience the satisfaction of creating a network of women
who will support each other to excel in technology. Chapter
leadership requires dedication and a personal commitment
of time and effort. If you embrace and disseminate WITI's
core values, and if you are ready to make a commitment
to supporting and advancing women in technology, the WITI
Professional Association will work with you to ensure
the success of your Chapter. To receive more information
and an application please contact our Executive Director,
Carolyn Grossman ([email protected])
