At ChickTech, we believe every girl and woman has the right to fulfill their true potential. Through a variety of confidence and skill building experiences, we uplift and empower girls and women through the lens of technology. In the end, our goal is to get and keep girls and women in high tech and show them they are capable of doing - and being - anything they desire. Through service across the country, community members are joining us to bring these experiences to the girls and women who need them the most.
The ACT-W (Advancing the Careers of Technical Women) Conference Manager will be responsible for planning our day-long Women in Tech conference in San Francisco on October 26, 2019. This will include recruiting and leading a committee dedicated to finding sponsors and partners for the event, as well as organizing all of the logistical details for the event (location, catering, scheduling, speakers and workshops, etc). You will receive guidance from the leadership team, planning committee, and the national ACT-W conference manager. You can check http://bayarea.act-w.org/ for more details from last year's event.
This opportunity is perfect for someone looking for a leadership role in organizing a large scale event for ~120 people. The perfect candidate for this role will have strong organizational and event planning skills, as well as will be able to dedicate 5-10 hours a week (more when the event gets closer) to planning and executing this event. They will also be passionate about women in technology and have exceptional people skills.
Does this sound like you? Then join us! We invite you to reach out and can’t wait to hear from you.
