You delivered – spreading the word, showing up, and supporting our Women in Quantum (WIQ) initiative, and your patronage of the WIQ community is immensely appreciated. Together we made remarkable progress in a short time, and we are looking forward to even more fruitful collaboration in 2021.
I’m personally deeply grateful for the enthusiasm everyone demonstrated empowering us to achieve more than I imagined when first drafting WIQ. We’ve built foundations for something extraordinary - encouraging women to contribute in key roles in the fascinating transformative quantum industry as it steadily progresses toward commercial viability.
The best way to maintain the momentum is for me to hear what you have to say about our path forward. I’m genuinely eager to hear what you’re thinking both about our past results and, more important, about your role in our future and how WIQ can help you.
I’m asking for your help in widening my point of view to encompass your perspective on what’s important to focus on this year. So please consider emailing me at denise@onequantum.org and letting me know your thoughts.
And in the meantime, please put a hold on your calendar for March 9-11 for Women In Quantum Summit IV. We will have a new format and March 10 will be focused on machine learning.
Please go to our link and sign up now!
