WCT’s next destination: NOVA SCOTIACalling Nova Scotia #womenintech & #womenincomms – Canadian Women in Communications and Technology’s (WCT) is launching its first-ever Nova Scotia Chapter and we want you to be a part of it! WCT is a national organization dedicated to the advancement of women through a coast-to-coast network of professionals and companies in communications and technology. WCT aims to be a catalyst for advancing women’s leadership in the technology, media and telecommunications sectors by facilitating women’s career advancement through mentorship, skills and leadership training, networking, and recognition. Why WCT? Nova Scotia based women leaders and a number of stakeholder organizations have come together to form WCT’s first Nova Scotia Chapter. We believe that women in Nova Scotia should have the opportunity to benefit from a national network of mentors and like-minded peers, which inspired us to launch a Nova Scotia Chapter. Get Involved! The Nova Scotia Chapter will promote WCT national programs, develop a Regional Mentorship Circle to support regional connections, and will act as a hub to promote other Nova Scotia focused networking events for #womenintech. We are currently calling for an expression of interest from women in our region to participate in a Regional Mentorship Circle in 2018. If you’re interested in either being a mentor or being mentored as part of a structured, in-person program, or simply interested in participating on a WCT Nova Scotia Committee to assist in coordinating this initiative, please let us know! Contact us at: wctfctNS@gmail.com. WCT is a membership-based organization. If you’re employed by a WCT Diamond Sponsor, you’re already a member, so simply sign-up to confirm your membership code.
