DLF’s Project Managers group is proud to sponsor an Ally Skills Workshop at this year’s Forum.
Ally Skills Workshops teach simple, everyday ways to support women in their workplaces and communities. Participants learn techniques that work at the office, at conferences, and online. The skills taught are relevant everywhere, including those particularly relevant to open technology and culture communities. At the end of the workshop, participants will feel more confident in speaking up to support women, be more aware of the challenges facing women in their workplaces and communities, and have closer relationships with the other participants.
See a fuller description on the Ada Initiative website.
Everyone is welcome to register for our event, although places are limited.
