Founded in 1999 in Indianapolis by a female scientist from Eli Lilly and Company and a female academician from Indiana University, Women & Hi Tech exists to change the landscape of women represented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to be equally inclusive to all. To achieve our goal, we work to mentor, advance, recognize, and connect female STEM students and professionals with each other and our community in Indiana. Our members and sponsors represent a wide array of STEM fields, including life sciences, accounting, engineering, psychology, statistics, and information technology.
Women & Hi Tech is run by an all-volunteer, working Board of Directors. We are looking for candidates who are actively engaged with the organization, and will bring wisdom, experience, effectiveness, candor, and creative thinking. We are passionate about our organization and the meaningful work we do and are looking for like-minded individuals. We do not take the term “working board” lightly. At any given time, a Director is leading her/his own area of responsibility while also contributing to other areas of the organization, including serving on committees, participating in Women & Hi Tech events, and representing Women & Hi Tech in the community.
We are seeking off-term nominations for our K-12 Outreach Director Position.
All nominations will be reviewed by a board selection committee. Nominees must be Women & Hi Tech members in good standing at the time of initial voting and must remain in good standing throughout their tenure. The elected director will take office on February 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026.
To apply or nominate an individual, please complete the following form by Friday, December 1, 2023.
