The Power of Connection

Succeeding as a leader in technology is hard—doing it as a woman is even harder. At ClassLink, we’re proud to support female technology leaders making a difference in their organizations and communities. That’s why we’re creating this space for women in tech to share experiences, learn from one another, and, most importantly, connect.  Attendees will engage in technology concerns such as cybersecurity readiness and usage analytics as well as leadership challenges unique to women in technology. In hosting this event, we aim to bring female state and school district technology leaders to create change and build lasting bonds.
