Donation will be used to support women and girls pursuing careers in technology

Rogue Wave Software is pleased to announce a $10,000 donation to ChickTech, a national nonprofit serving tens of thousands of girls and women pursuing education and careers in technology.

“Diversity in the workforce is crucial to the success of any technology company,” says Brian Pierce, Rogue Wave CEO. “The work that ChickTech does to engage women and empower girls helps all of us become better technology leaders, mentors, and practitioners.”

Founded in 2012, ChickTech works to engage women and girls of all ages in creating a global movement committed to inclusivity, equal opportunity, and non-discrimination. Through mentoring, workshops, and internship opportunities, ChickTech positively impacts girls’ and women’s lives to improve the technology industry as a whole.

"We're excited and grateful to be starting an impactful partnership with Rogue Wave," says ChickTech founder and CEO Janice Levenhagen-Seeley. "As ChickTech continues to expand both nationally and globally, dedicated and passionate partners such as Rogue Wave are critical for us to increase opportunities for girls and women. We also look forward to joining the ZendCon & OpenEnterprise community in October to continue the discussion on how all of us can create change within our local and global communities."

Levenhagen-Seely will be keynoting at ZendCon & OpenEnterprise 2018, running from Oct. 15-17, 2018, in Las Vegas. Early bird registration for the conference ends on Aug. 31, 2018.
