Our Mission & Vision
The mission of the Women in Technology of Mississippi (WIT MS) is to create a community, for women with careers already in technology, to grow together through networking, collaboration, connection, mentorship, and professional development. We are also focused on increasing the numbers of women in Technology. This happens through our Certification & Education programs, as well as reaching our boys and girls with awareness and education on what Technology is and why they should choose careers in those areas. Our Girls in Tech program is focused on the awareness, education, and development of students, ages 10-18.
Our vision is to connect, inspire, and empower women in technology to close the gender gap and to help women embrace technology.
Our Backstory
In 2023, Tiffany Benitez started this organization to drive the increase in numbers of women in technology. She formed a national organization that has 3 foundational pillars, to drive this change: Networking & Connection, Training & Certifications, and Education & Community Outreach.
A Message from Our Founder:
Who Started the Movement?
As the founder of the Women+ in Technology National Organization, I am deeply committed to changing the reality that women make up only 28% of the technology workforce. This work is personal to me and we will not stop until the numbers change!
