Hello MidWIC and OCWIC Women,

Are you interested in creating a K-12 outreach program for your  
college or university? If so, then you might consider signing up for  
our upcoming SIGCSE workshop. This hands-on workshop is appropriate  
for anyone (undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff) who  
wants to get started on creating an actual presentation. You'll also  
learn how to connect with K-12 schools and take your show on the  
road. For more information, please see our NCWIT blog entry:

    http://www.ncwit.org/connect.blog.php?

Please feel free to contact me or Katie Siek if you have any questions.

Suzanne

Subject: [OCWIC] IT Salaries - Gender Gap Narrows
Message-ID: <5d1a6f030701251535t65674dbcm62e14e24974bc762@mail.gmail.com>

Folks --

There's some really good news in this report,  especially for those
concerned about the market value of their IT skills.

There even some good news for women in computing:  Gender pay gaps are
narrowing. Women are earning more than male counterparts in some jobs.
In particular,  women IT executives earn 1.4% more than men!

Dice.com <http://dice.com/> new IT survey data ......

Bettina

p.s. If you want to learn more about jobs as an IT executive, be sure and
register for OCWIC.  The two featured speakers are both CIOs!  *Visit *
