WITI Notable Quotables
"Man should be barred from holding public office for 100 years", says billionaire Ted Turner. "Men have been running the world too long and they've made a mess of it. If women were in charge, it would be a much more peaceful, prosperous, equitable world in a very short period of time. You'd have a huge shift away from military budgets and into education and healthcare."
- Ted Turner, Entrepreneur & Philanthropist

Upcoming Network Events
"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."
