vGHCI Leadership and Program Committee

GHCI-committee-hero

The vGHCI leadership and program committees are comprised of a high energy team of experienced leaders and professionals from the technology industry and academia. They have a strong passion for technology and a deep commitment to support and mentor fellow women technologists to grow in their careers. Many of them have been associated with GHCI since its inception, seeing the conference grow from 300 to over 5,000 attendees in 10 years.

The team collaborates on coordinating overall content for the tracks, spread the motivation to participate in “Call For Submissions”, work on submission reviews, interact with speakers and brainstorm on the program design. Program design includes content, session topics, and provide the resources to oversee and ensure all processes and timelines are followed for planning and execution of the Celebration. All of this brings the research and career interests of women in computing and technology to the forefront.

The vGHCI team brings out a successful Celebration each year with a huge positive impact and a difference in our attendees’ education and future!
