Voices in Technology: Claiming Your Place at the Decision Table

Regardless of industry, technology is at the core of every business — or at least, it should be. But technology adoption and digital transformation require countless, complex decisions, affecting every level of an organization and often many people within it.

For women and underrepresented groups, having a seat at the decision-making table, let alone a voice is challenging in a world where equal representation is taking its time.

That not only hurts the individuals but also the success of their organizations.

So: how can we help each other to bring voices to the table?

How can we proactively develop ourselves so that our voice is heard and accepted?

How, as leaders, can we make sure our organizations are doing enough?

In this unique event, digital transformation consultancy MentorMate brings together three technology leaders to share their career stories as women in decision-making positions. They’ll discuss the best practices of organizations they’ve worked in and offer advice for progress-seekers who want to be part of the change.

Hosted by Laura Best, Founder, Passion Collective — a Twin Cities-based community for professional women — the panel will share how to:

• Proactively build a career with intention, despite organizational and societal barriers
• Learn/rediscover the vocabulary and knowledge needed to influence change
• Build confidence in situations of potential conflict, especially in the IT category
• Stay relevant within a changing knowledge and relationship environment
• Advocate for women in your workplace

This intimate, unique event in our Uptown Minneapolis office combines happy hour with story sharing and a workshop. You’ll walk away with:

• New connections with like-minded leaders
• Encouragement, support, and practical advice
• Action steps for your journey
• Ideas and examples to take back to your organization
• A signed copy of Jaime Taets’ You Are Here book

MentorMate believes that the equity of women is essential to everyone’s success. That’s why we’re creating this platform for important conversations about how women can build influence in the workplace and how organizations and individuals can support them.
