About

Women in Technology of the Heartland (WiTH) was founded in November of 2012 by women committed to creating an Omaha-area networking organization that would authentically connect, communicate, and collaborate, with the goal of advancing women in technology.  Meetings occur monthly in various locations and are free of charge. 

WiTH provides a fun networking forum for women to learn from and share with one another, focusing on the development and promotion of IT talent in women through mentoring and other outreach efforts, so we’re not the only woman in the room anymore.

Topics are technical in nature and cover soft skills as well as technical topics.  Occasionally, the meetings focus on networking for people to get to know one another better or make new connections.

WiTH has enjoyed growing recognition and a number of successes. WiTH members have served as speakers for other organizations and members have gained insights and made connections which have advanced their careers.  At the same time, the community has benefitted from the group’s outreach, including collecting diapers for Lydia House, food for the Omaha Food Bank and helping the Girl Scouts achieve technical badges.
