Description:	The National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) is a coalition of over 200 prominent corporations, academic institutions, government agencies, and non-profits working to increase women's participation in information technology (IT). Inspiring more women to choose and remain in careers in IT is a compelling issue of innovation, competitiveness, and workforce sustainability: in a global economy, it means a larger and more competitive IT workforce; in a world dependent on innovation, it means the design of technology that is as broad and creative as the population it serves.
