    WOMEN TECHNOLOGISTS COUNT Recommendations and Best Practices to Retain Women in Computing ANITA BORG INSTITUTE SOLUTIONS SERIES TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword . 1 Introduction . 2 Leadership and Accountability . 5 Corporate Culture Built for Innovation . 7 Support Networks and Communities . 11 Organizational Infrastructure and Policies . 18 Conclusion . 21 Endnotes . 22 FOREWORD ver the past 15 years, as the Anita Borg Institute has worked to improve the representation and advancement of women in computing, we’ve learned how important it is to retain women in the technical Ocareer pipeline . We know from our work with organizations that turnover among women in technology is a significant problem . Companies recognize that they cannot afford to lose valuable talent, but making a tangible impact on attrition levels can be challenging . Attrition begins when some women struggle in the transition from college to their first technical position in industry . For those who stay initially, the mid level is an especially critical “make or break” point . Many mid-level women leave the technical track to become managers . Others switch companies or step away from technology altogether . Those who advance to senior technical roles face many obstacles as they work toward the top tiers of technical leadership . Keeping women in the technical workforce matters . Teams that have a diversity of perspective, including gender, improve innovation and, ultimately, financial performance . It is in the best interest of technology companies to retain women who are committed to inventing technology and making a contribution in their fields . To institute real change in the workplace, employees throughout the organization need to understand that including people with a broad range of perspective, background and gender is a business imperative .

  • Sustaining Our Momentum in Public and Private Arenas
    UNITED WE THRIVE Sustaining Our Momentum in Public and Private Arenas 2016 ANNUAL REPORT MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR FY2016 has been a productive year for the National Women’s Business Council and a year full of progress for women entrepreneurs. The Senate and the House Small Business Committees each passed bills that aimed to raise the grant ceiling for the Small Business Administration’s Women’s Business Center program for the first time since the original authorization, H.R. 5050, created this program in 1988. In June, the White House convened the first ever national summit focusing on women — The United State of Women — looking at gender issues across all areas. While women entrepreneurs have always been a backbone of this country’s economy, this unprecedented action by the federal government recognizes the influence that women business owners continue to have on its growth and success. Our economy is better than it was eight years ago, and we celebrate that a significant contribution to this stronger, more durable economy has been, in part, made by women business owners as they have originated and scaled their businesses. In March, the Council released a report based on data from The Council also looked at access to private markets for women the 2012 Survey of Business Owners and Self-Employed Persons, business owners, initiating original research on corporate supplier confirming that women-owned businesses now comprise 36 diversity programs. Corporate supplier diversity programs are percent of the country’s businesses and women continue to corporations’ explicit effort to include, into their supply chains, enter the ranks of U.S.

"It was like the running of the bulls," says Kathryn Finney, who says she was knocked to the floor in New York's flagship store by someone lunging for a pair of $535 Manolo Blahnik shoes going for $160. Saks's deep, mid-November markdowns were the first tug on a thread that's now unraveling long-established rules of the luxury-goods industry. The changes are bankrupting some firms, toppling longstanding agreements on pricing and distribution, and destroying the very air of exclusivity that designers are trying to sell.

    _VISIBLES_ RetroParla 2020 Mujeres en el mundo de la _VISIBLES_ informática y los videojuegos ¿Sabías que el primer programa informático de la historia lo escribió una mujer, un siglo antes de que se construyera el primer ordenador? ¿O que fueron mujeres las que calcularon a mano la trayectoria que llevó a los astronautas a la Luna? ¿O que su trabajo fue clave para que hoy puedas llevar un móvil en el bolsillo y conectarte a internet desde el sofá de tu casa? ¿Sabías que hay una mujer detrás de las aventuras de Lara Croft o las andanzas de Nathan Drake? ¿O de Halo? ¿O de Los Sims? ¿O que llevan más de cuarenta años programando videojuegos, desde los tiempos de la Atari 2600? Desde aquel primer programa de Ada Lovelace, generaciones de mujeres han contribuido de manera decisiva al avance de la tecnología en todos sus campos, y en la mayoría de los casos sin el reconocimiento que merecían. Estas cincuenta reseñas son solo una pequeñísima muestra de las miles de ingenieras, diseñadoras, programadoras, artistas e inventoras que desde hace siglo y medio están consiguiendo hacernos la vida mucho más fácil (¡y mucho más entretenida!). El equipo de RETRO RetroParla PARLA ASOCIACION DE AFICIONADOS A LA RETROINFORMATICA DE PARLA Ada Lovelace (Matemática y programadora) Augusta Ada King, condesa de Lovelace, nació en Londres en 1815. Única hija legítima del poeta Lord Byron y de Anne Isabella Milbanke, fue su madre quien la educó de forma tan esmerada como exigente tras la separación del matrimonio, inculcándole su amor por las matemáticas.
