Media Sponsors: Diversity/Careers becomes ABI media partner
Renard Communications, publisher of Diversity/Careers in Engineering & Information Technology magazine and website, has agreed to become the first-ever media partner for the Anita Borg Institute and its Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Technology. The magazine, read by 100,000 technical women, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans and other diverse technical professionals, will bring its readers information on ABI and its events through a series of articles and conference promotions.
Diversity/Careers will also offer its resume service to ABI members. One resume posting will make a member’s resume available to all Diversity/Careers advertisers: most of the Fortune 500, large government organizations, key academic institutions and more. “Our advertisers turn to Diversity/Careers to recruit diverse technical pros, from DB admins to rocket scientists,” said publisher Roberta Renard. “They’ll be delighted to see resumes from the highly-qualified ABI members.”
The first fruit of the partnership will be coverage of ABI’s May 8 Women of Vision event in San Jose. Colborn and Renard plan to attend. “I’m looking forward to the evening, and to meeting some ABI members and corporate supporters,” said Diversity/Careers editor in chief Kate Colborn. “The outreach to pre-college women sounds particularly exciting.”
Diversity/Careers will also be an active participant in the 2008 Grace Hopper Celebration in the fall, and is planning a feature article on ABI and the conference in its June/July issue.
