Women Tech Council (WTC), a non-profit organization that provides leadership, support and mentorship for women in all levels of the technology industry, announced today the Women Tech Awards 2008. The Women Tech Awards will recognize technology-focused women who are driving innovation, leading technology companies, and are key contributors to the community. The awards are hosted by MountainWest Capital Network. Nominations for the Women Tech Awards are now open and being accepted at www.womentechcouncil.org. Nominations for the Women Tech Awards will be open until June 18, 2008.
The Awards Recipients and Finalists will be recognized at a Women Tech Awards Luncheon on September 18, 2008, hosted by MountainWest Capital Network (www.mwcn.org), Utah's first and largest business networking organization. Awards Recipients and Finalists will be recognized in various media and online outlets.
"We are excited about the opportunity the Women Tech Awards present to recognize leading women in the community," said Cydni Tetro, Executive Director of Women Tech Council and VP of Products and Marketing at NextPage. "Recent research shows that the number of high-level women in technology related fields has risen over the past five years. Women are also climbing the corporate ladder in technology, achieving C-Level status at many corporations throughout the state."
"The Women Tech Awards follows on the heels of two very successful events we held this year. Women Tech Council is proving to be the relevant organization for women in technology leadership," said Sara Jones, Board Member of WTC and Shareholder at Workman Nydegger.
Devin Thorpe, President of MountainWest Capital Network and Managing Director of TOIP at USTAR, said, "This is going to be a great program with a tremendous positive impact on the technology community.
