Many of our programs can be tailored to fit your company or organization, and that’s what we’ve done in our partnership with Women in Aviation. Rising women leaders across the aviation industry came together to take Women in Leadership. Here’s what participants who completed the program had to say:

Indeed it's not too late to grab those tickets for Women's Agenda Leadership Awards where I will be the MC. This morning, after reading the 2024 Women in the Workplace from McKinsey & Company shared on #TechDiversity ’s social page, I felt a profound mix of pride and urgency. As I prepare to MC the Women’s Leadership Awards on October 23rd, I’m reminded of the progress we've made but also of the work that still lies ahead. The report, marking its 10th year, lays bare both the advancements and the continued challenges for women in the workforce—particularly women of color. According to the report, for every 100 men promoted to manager, only 54 Black women make that same leap—a statistic that hit me hard this morning. It’s a reminder that despite our strides, systemic obstacles persist, keeping too many women from reaching leadership roles. The report also underscores how microaggressions and workplace bias continue to disproportionately affect women, contributing to burnout and disengagement. These are issues I see reflected in the stories I hear every day within our TechDiversity community. It's clear that while some companies are making strides—such as offering more flexibility and bias training—we need to push for deeper, more accountable changes, particularly around career development and mentorship. As we gather for the Women’s Leadership Awards, it’s not just a celebration of those who have made it, but a call to action for all of us to keep pushing for equity.
