Women in Technology (WIT) and the March of Dimes organize and execute what will be the ninth annual Heroines in Technology® Awards in a couple of weeks. The awards recognize women and women-run businesses for their exemplary commitment to community service. The winners will be announced at a black-tie gala on November 13, 2009, at the Hyatt Regency Reston in Reston, Va. The event is a great time and a good deal of money is raised in the process. I am proud to be associated with the March of Dimes and this event. Make it if you can, I am sure you'll be glad you did so.
