Next week is the
Anita Borg Institute’s
Grace Hopper Conference on Women and Computing. Sun is both a Gold Sponsor of this conference and an
ABI Partner. Sun will have 9 presentations by 7 presenters and over
30 participants. We have all of the giveaways (chatchkes) for Sun’s
conference table shipped to the hotel in San Diego already. There are
just two more documents due back from the printers on Monday. The
conference runs 4-7 October 2006.
Sun HR Director Carol Gorski and I will be teaching at the TechLeader’s
Workshop on Wednesday. The workshop theme is “Building and Sustaining Change in Technology Cultures: Showcasing What Works”. Carol and
I will be talking about “5 Years of Mentoring by the Numbers”. That is, presenting our learnings and metrics from 5 years of running the SEED Engineering mentoring program.
I am also on the “Mentoring by the Numbers” panel on Thursday with
Dr. Carol Muller (MentorNet) and Dr. Mary Jean Harrold (Georgia Tech).
This will be my 3rd Hopper conference. I always come home energized
and full of new ideas. I have signed up to write blog entries from
the conference so look here for more…
