Women in IT Community Contributor of the Year Award

It’s time to nominate yourself or someone you know for the Annual Women in IT Community Contributor of the Year Award! The 2011 Women in IT Community Contributor of the Year Award will be awarded during the Women in IT Lunch at Tech•Ed 2011 on the Gold Coast. So come on – tell us your story, share your challenges and successes!

Last year’s winner Raina Mason - Associate Lecturer & Women in Technology Program Coordinator for Southern Cross University said:

“It's wonderful to receive this award for so many reasons, but particularly because it gives greater visibility to our program. It's important that people know what we are doing, particularly with our local schools program, and the planned remote school program, where we will get to talk to kids that normally wouldn't hear anything about careers in IT, and encourage girls to get involved.”
