DEFINITION 6 BECOMES MAJOR SPONSOR FOR WOMEN IN TECHNOLOGY (WIT) CONNECT 2007
Company Embraces Programs That Advance The Careers of Business Women6/4/2007
Definition 6 announces signing on as a major sponsor of Women in Technology (WIT) Connect, a premier networking and fund-raising event. As one of only 3 Silver Sponsorships, Definition 6 makes it possible for WIT to provide outstanding educational and philanthropic programs promoting technology among executive women and encouraging young girls and women to pursue careers in the field.
Part fundraiser, part auction, WIT Connect brings together the leaders of the community to ensure the viability of WIT and its programs. “Definition 6 was chosen as one of Georgia Trend magazine’s ‘Great Places to Work in Georgia’ because of our emphasis on helping women accelerate their careers, among other things,” said Michael Kogon, CEO and Founder of Definition6. “We believe women should capitalize on the virtues of being a woman in business. Programs like WIT help women do this through educational meetings, executive coaching, mentoring, and seminars. That’s why we focus on giving back to the community and sponsoring programs that benefit women and other minorities.”
WIT Connect ’07 fosters relationships between hard to reach executives from leading companies, such as AT&T, ChoicePoint, The Coca-Cola Company, Home Depot, and Southern Company, and the community who bid in a live auction to win meetings with company executives. Now entering its 14th year, WIT Connect has brought together more than 1,000 executives using its unique auction format. Proceeds from the auction support the programs of WIT and the WIT Foundation. Through the foundation, hundreds of girls and young women have received scholarships and participated in programs like WIT on Track and Girls Get IT.
WIT Connect ’07 will be held at the Georgia Aquarium on Wednesday, June 13, 2007 from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m.
