AAWIT is a virtual organization that I have followed for a number of years. They have an active online community used to communicate with hundreds of African American women from across the country employed in or aspiring to enter the IT field. I encourage any sisters that are reading this blog to join the AAWIT online community to share job openings, events from around the country, career and personal advise and positive messages to uplift you during your workday.
Monique Boea
is the founder and guiding light for this crew. Monique recently noted, "With issues such as outsourcing, immigration and our current political scene, it is imperative that we as a community band together and support each other. The African American community has been and will continue to be most affected by these issues."
AAWIT's mission is to support the education, support and advancement of African American women in the field of Information Technology. The bulk of the members are in the Atlanta GA area. I truly hope that our BDPA Atlanta chapter, as well as our 2008 National BDPA Conference team can figure out some way to hook up with Monique and her organization over the coming weeks and months.
