Women in Leadership: From the Computer Age to the Digital Age

This event will celebrate innovative women in the computer technology sciences, from trailblazers like Grace Hopper, Katherine Jonson, and the ENIAC programmers, through the years to today’s women in leadership roles and those shaping the computer age. What are their experiences and what changes have taken place in their opportunities, expectations, responsibilities, obstacles, and challenges? Featuring film clips and discussion, a panel will explore the women who made history and paved the way, as well as talk about their own personal journeys and the advice they would offer to young women entering the fields. Moderated by Megan Smith, U.S. Chief Technology Officer and Assistant to the President, panelists include Kathy Kleiman, founder of the ENIAC Programmers Project; Telle Whitney, CEO, Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology; Florence Tan, NASA, Electrical Lead Engineer on Curiosity, the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL); and Emily Reid, Director of Education, Girls Who Code.

The National Archives Museum in Washington, DC, is Metro accessible on the Yellow and Green lines, Archives/Navy Memorial station. For upcoming programs, visit the Calendar of Events online: www.archives.gov/calendar.
