IWITTS: Helping Educators close the gender gap for women and girls in technology

Testimonial

As Chief of the Albuquerque, New Mexico Police Department I had the opportunity to work closely with Donna Milgram and IWITTS. Their tools helped our Department accurately assess the current work environment and make changes that greatly improved our ability to recruit, retain and promote women officers considerably in a short time.
