---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pyle, Molly <mp...@iie.org> Date: Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 11:28 AM Subject: Professional Exchange Opportunity with TechWomen To: "gscharffenber...@berkeley.edu" <gscharffenber...@berkeley.edu> Dear George Scharffenberger, I am writing on behalf of the TechWomen program in hopes that you can help us spread the word about this exciting opportunity. I have contacted you in years past, and I am hopeful that you may once again be willing to share this opportunity widely among your individual and organizational contacts, especially women in your country and community. TechWomen, an initiative of the U.S. Department of State, brings emerging women leaders in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) from Africa, South and Central Asia, and the Middle East together with their professional counterparts in the United States for a mentorship and exchange program based in San Francisco. During the five-week program, participants engage in project-based mentorships at leading companies in the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley. The 2017 program will include 100 women from the following countries: Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestinian Territories, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Zimbabwe. We are accepting applications for the 2017 program until January 17, 2017. We are looking for women who have demonstrated themselves as emerging leaders in their chosen profession, through their work experience, volunteer experience, community activities and education. Please consider forwarding this message to your pertinent networks. Flyers in multiple languages, as well as suggested tweets and social media posts, are available here. TechWomen’s mission is centered on empowering and supporting change agents around the world. I deeply appreciate your help in sharing this opportunity. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for your support of global women leaders!
