This upcoming week a lot of the Trailblazer community groups are hosting events. Due to the Memorial Day holiday (in the United States anyways) there aren’t any events on Monday, so enjoy your time off! It’s a busy week and we don’t have a lot of time for chit chat, so sit back, open up your calendars and let’s get planning!
Wednesday, May 27th
This week we are going to be starting in the middle of our work week. On Wednesday, May 27th the Women in Tech Group in Sacramento will be hosting Irma Olguin Jr., the CEO and Co-Founder of Bitwise Industries and CEO of Shift3 Technologies. She created a work environment that is inclusive to women, LGBTQI and people of color, something not normal seen in the tech industry. If you are looking for inspiration and some positivity in your life, I encourage you to join Ambition, Opportunity and Impact: A Conversation with Irma Olguin Jr.
