Women in Technology (WIT) is thrilled to announce our impressive list of local Atlanta Executives and Leaders that will host our signature fundraising event, WIT Connect 2021, to be held Virtually, Thursday, June 17.
ATLANTA, May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This impressive list includes: Patti Dismukes, Vice President of Professional Services, HUNTER Technical Resources; Jean Holley, Board of Directors, Senior Executive, CIO; Marianne Johnson, EVP & Chief Product Officer, Cox Automotive; Bryson Koehler, CTO, Equifax; Vish Narendra, CIO, Graphic Packaging International.
"WIT raised the bar last year with the virtual WIT Connect event. It was informative, entertaining and impactful," says Patti Dismukes, Vice President of Professional Services at HUNTER Technical Resources and WIT Board President. "A lot has happened for the WIT Community since then, so I'm excited to hear about the successes and plans for the future! I'm proud to be part of an organization that supports women and helps to drive change."
"I've been engaged in supporting WIT for 18 years and it is amazing to me the outcomes that are achieved through the engagement that WIT has", says Bryson Koehler, Chief Technology Officer at Equifax. "I find the work that WIT does is powerful. Every program, every event is tied to helping women grow and live their best. Their Single Mothers' Program is one of a kind and is not only helping underserved single mothers in Georgia improve their lives, but it also improving the lives of their children. I'm honored to say that Equifax hired 5 women in Technology and Security from their inaugural class. I strongly believe in everything WIT is doing."
Since its inception, WIT Connect has gathered nearly 900 of Atlanta's top executives to raise more than $3.5 million to support the development of young girls and the advancement of women in science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM).
Each year, before the program, WIT hosts a special VIP Reception for invited WIT Connect guests and C-Suite executives participating in the Executive Auction Experience. This year the VIP Networking reception will be held virtually.
