Board will remain squarely focused on supporting WIT President and
CEO Penny Collins and her team as
they bring powerful STEAM-based programs and education to girls and

In 2019 alone, nearly 2,500 girls and young women and 14,000
women in careers were inspired, motivated, and supported in their
pursuit of a STEAM career by WIT. We donated $180,000 in scholarships, and provided
STEAM-based opportunities for girls and women to learn and grow.
But with more than 35,000 new STEAM jobs opening each year, and a
4:1 ratio of men to women graduating in STEAM careers, there is
still so much opportunity for us to make a difference.
