About ATW Seattle

ATW Seattle Chapter is a founding ATW chapter, formed in October 2002 by an enthusiastic group of professional women representing a broad spectrum of experience. Our all-volunteer board of directors shares a common interest in empowering women in technology and encouraging women and girls to enter technology fields.

Our active local leadership, supported by sponsors, members and other volunteers, works closely with ATW national headquarters as well as other organizations to offer events and programs to further this important initiative.

We host regular public events at which you can network with other professionals in the industry, listen to a presentation on technology trends or professional development or participate in a workshop, as well as learn about the other programs and activities offered by the chapter.

Events

Seattle’s regional chapter is a founding member of ATW. Our inaugural year kicked off with a high-energy, standing room only meeting in October followed by a lively calendar of activities providing lectures, workshops and speaker/networking events.

Seattle ATW Chapter events typically alternate between casual networking events and events featuring a speaker or workshop. These events provide an opportunity to meet new people and expanding your contacts throughout the industry as well as to learn and grow both personally and professionally. Location and costs for meetings vary.

GREAT MINDS™

Why are the percentages of women in the technology fields decreasing? Do you want to help turn this trend around? Studies show that positive contact with technology professionals during middle school helps keep girls interested in technology. The Seattle ATW Chapter is partnering with the TechREACH program at the Puget Sound Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology (PSC) to form a mentoring program for middle school girls. This partnership is a win-win solution! TechREACH brings access to schools, students, and teachers. ATW members contribute as mentors for the middle school girls, or can volunteer in other ways, such as speaking at the schools, or providing a tour of their workplace.
