NC TECH has several programs and initiatives to continue to close the gender gap in tech, to better support women in tech roles and companies, and to educate and inspire a new generation of women to pursue roles in technology fields. NC TECH hosts various programming for women in tech, as well as partnering with reacHIRE to offer immersive programs within individual companies to support women in tech, and those returning to the workforce after a break.
NC TECH’s 2023 Summit for Women in Tech will be held in beautiful New Bern, North Carolina. At this event, female tech and business leaders from across the state will gather along the Neuse River to celebrate the strides that have been taken, but also focus on the work still yet to be done to improve representation for women in the tech industry and in leadership positions.
Betsy Justus was NC TECH’s founding CEO, a pioneer among women in technology, and a North Carolina leader. Upon her passing, NC TECH created a scholarship in her name to support young women in North Carolina who pursue an academic and career path in technology and/or engineering.
Every year, two students are selected to receive a $4,000 scholarship ($1,000 per year). NC TECH accepts applications during April and May each year.
NC TECH Connect allows members to network with peers, share content, collaborate, and socialize including posting pictures, polls, discussions, and events. An important function is for folks to gather in "groups" around commonalities, both exclusive (CIOs/CISOs, Tech CEOS, Directors + Advisors, etc.), and general special interest (Cyber Security, Women in Tech, Talent).
