How Smart Women Win at Office Politics
By Jo Miller
Do you enjoy dealing with office politics?
Becoming politically savvy is not always viewed as a wholesome, worthy goal. The mere mention of the word "politics" triggers negative connotations.

WITI Women
No Girls Allowed
By Melissa Solomon
Every month or so, it's girls' night out in Boston. It's not female coeds who are hitting the town, but rather five women who lead IT at local universities.
As female leaders in a male-dominated industry, these women can feel isolated. Recently, while giving a presentation at an IT conference, one member of the girls'-night-out group was the only woman in the room.
However, for the last four years, these women, along with their invited guests, have been part of a club where they brainstorm ideas, give each other advice and lend support. In other words, they're alone together.

Upcoming Network Events:
"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
