NCWIT's Town Hall - IT Innovation and the Role of Diversity

NCWIT had a “town hall” event at the National Academy of Sciences Auditorium last Wednesday.

Along with the NCWIT participants were a number of special guests, including Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), Rick Rashid (SVP Microsoft Research), and Senator Mark Udall (D-CO).  The agenda included a keynote address from Padmasree Warrior (EVP and CTO of Motorola), an Executive Branch Panel, and a Congressional Panel.  I wasn’t able to attend because of my trip to Paris, but Lucy Sanders (NCWIT’s CEO) told me the event went extremely well.  Thanks to everyone who participated.

Thanks for standing up for the diversity that brings leadership to new heights... How might this kind of diversity be taught in mainstream America -- which at times feels threatened by the face of genuine diversity...? Thoughts?
