We are excited to announce the re-launch of the Orange County network of WITI. Our inaugural event will be held right in the heart of OC!

With the recent buzz created by Sheryl Sandberg’s book \"Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead\", we invite you to join us for an enticing event with a panel of OC CIO\'s sharing their leadership journey, the challenges they faced, and their discovery of what transferable skills they found invaluable. Michelle Bergquist, CEO and Co-Founder of Connected Women of Influence, will be moderating our panel with Julie St John, CIO from The Capital Group Companies, and Lynn Ryan, CIO from loanDepot.
