I am a member of DC Web Women (DCWW), a 501(c)(6) professional organization of about 3000 members located in the Washington, D.C., area. Our members are professional women, students, and enthusiasts who specialize in the fields of web design, web development, computer science, Information Technology (IT), graphic design, web content, blogging, multimedia, marketing, e-marketing, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), web analytics, and social media.
A former boss of mine originally recommended I join the group. I am glad I did. DCWW is such a great resource. It reaches out and partners with local technology, web, and new media communities/groups that advocate for women in technology. More importantly, the group’s listserve is a goldmine of technical information. Here’s a link to the DCWW website.
