On March 27, 2025, the TechWomen program announced the return of its furloughed team, enabling the continuation of its efforts in supporting women in STEM globally. After significant community support, including outreach to Congress, the program's funding was restored. The news generated widespread celebration among women across various countries, affirming the program's importance. Researchers and mentors testified to the impact of TechWomen in fostering competitiveness and innovation in the U.S. economy through international collaboration in tech disciplines.
Smart women, smart tech and smart power: The restoration of the U.S. Dept of State's TechWomen program ensures that the U.S. will remain competitive in the global economy. My many years of involvement as an impact coach & cultural mentor have already proven the significant contributions in STEM this program has brought & will continue to bring to the table.
Since that first HackerNoon article 10 days ago, mentors found ways to meet face-to-face with members of Congress, confirming bipartisan support during a fall day of meetings with Congressional offices on March 25th.
