"Innovation" will lead the topics at WITI's 2007 Women and Technology Summit
This year, WITI's 2007 Summit will feature innovators and talk about innovation. The first day of our conference will be an entire day of roundtables where we engage each other and feature innovative women who are pushing the envelope. To inspire each other, help each woman present make a decision to leave her "modesty" at home and, instead celebrate and share each other's accomplishments and solutions to pushing even bigger ideas out the door.

Finding Your Passion is Not as Easy as It Sounds
By Jane Herman

Jane Herman Most of us have had the following experience - we are happily reading along in our morning newspaper or in our favorite magazine and we come across one of "those kind" of stories - and we cringe. It's a story about some wildly successful man or women who says, "I just knew since I was four years old that this is what I wanted to do with my life." And somehow just reading this makes us feel resentful or envious or annoyed with ourselves. "Why didn't I 'just know' as a child what my life's passion would be? Why did I not have a grand vision that effortlessly guided all my decisions and actions until I too became deliriously happy and successful?"

"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
