Girls in Tech is hosting a screening of "Miss Representation" -- A documentary film - by Jennifer Siebel Newsom - about breaking through stereotypes of women in the media to ultimately afford women everywhere more leadership opportunities.. Featuring Lisa Ling, Katie Couric, Margaret Cho, Rosario Dawson, Mayor Cory Booker (a champion of women's rights), Condoleeza Rice, Geena Davis, and more. We will view the film & then ask for audience participation --- a forum on how we, as women in tech, can use technology, social media and our networks to advance this great cause of getting more women in leadership and as our role models in technology and all professions!
We will end the evening with an audience discussion, lead by members of the Bay Area Women in Film & Media, where we will have an open forum on: How can we - the tech and social media community - rally around this cause, to support it and help affect change. This is too important an issue to just 'stand by & watch' -- We'd like to invite you to join the conversation!
