Last Tuesday, the March of Dimes and the Northern Virginia Chapter of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronic Association (AFCEA NOVA) selected 20 finalists for their 2011 Heroines in Technology Awards, which honor women from the DC-area who balance roles in the technology sector with significant commitments to community service.
On October 21, 2011, winners in the categories of the Rising Heroine, Individual Heroine, Corporate Heroine, AFCEA International Government and Lifetime Achievement will be revealed at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Reston, Va. at 6 p.m. The event will be a black-tie gala with a cocktail reception, dinner and live and silent auctions.
AFCEA NOVA, an event partner for Heroines in Technology, is the largest chapter of AFCEA International, a nonprofit professional association that represents the top government, industry and military professionals in the fields of communications, electronics, intelligence, software, information systems, imaging and multi-media.
