If the events of the past few months have taught us anything, it’s that we need to unite for the greater good and to create positive change. One of the most effective ways to do this is to develop open, welcoming communities where members can come together to learn, grow and challenge one another to break down barriers.

Women in Data is a global nonprofit focused on increasing diversity in the fields of data and technology. Our goal is to create an open community that is a safe and welcoming place for all and we fulfill our mission by providing education, awareness and opportunities for our members. Our organization was launched in the fall of 2015 and has since grown to 24 global cities with over 9,000 members in our community. The Washington, D.C. chapter of Women in Data officially launched in October 2019 with a successful networking welcome event and currently has over 450 members, according to D.C. chapter lead Justine Perkowski.

Since the arrival of COVID-19, our network of chapters has been hosting virtual events every month, which are open to all members worldwide. These virtual events can be found on our YouTube channel.
