Women in Tech Seattle

As we are in the midst of Women’s March Madness season and another history-making moment in Women’s basketball, today’s hashtag #WITQuoteWednesday comes from the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association)’s first commissioner, Cathy Engelbert. ?? ?? ?? Besides being a former athlete herself, Engelbert’s countless leadership experiences as the CEO of Deloitte, board of director member for Royalty Pharma, McDonald’s, and more exemplify her as a model of leadership excellence. Some of Engelbert's leadership excellence was highlighted by being named in Forbes’ ‘50 over 50’, Adweek’s ‘40 Women to Watch’, and one of Fortune’s Most Powerful Women. With her extensive experiences, Cathy Engelbert’s devotion to #WomenInSports highlights one of many women leaders that we celebrate this #WomenHistoryMonth. #CathyEngelbert #WNBA #WomenMarchMadness #WomenInSports #WITQuoteWednesday #WomenHistoryMonth

In honor of Women's History Month, our #WITQuoteWednesday comes from the first Native American female engineer, Mary Golda Ross. As the first Cherokee woman to participate in several aerospace projects, Ross's contributions—such as "Skunk Works" (secret government military developments), co-authoring volume three of NASA's Planetary Flight handbook, and designing spacecraft—significantly influenced American aerospace development.???? ?? ?? Not only was she a major contributor to space exploration and aerospace engineering, but Ross was also a passionate advocate for more Native Americans and women to join engineering. Her dedication to ensuring future generations' opportunities in the sciences reflects the lasting legacy of her impact. #MaryGoldaRoss #WomenInTech #WITQuoteWednesday #WomenHistoryMonth
