COVID-19 Update
With the safety of you, your families, and our communities as our top priority, all scheduled OKWIT events for March and April are canceled, and our Spring Retreat is postponed until further notice.
As of March 15th, we are following the CDC guidance which recommends canceling any events with 50 or more people for eight weeks. The threat of COVID-19 spread is being taken very seriously by OKWIT leadership, and we will continue to monitor the situation to make decisions for future events.
During this uncertain time, we are working to provide new remote ways to engage our membership and youth. Please keep in touch with us through our social media, website, and membership newsletters as we announce online activities to foster interaction and education from your homes.
As always, thank you for your support and participation in Oklahoma Women in Technology. Our hearts and thoughts are with all of you.

 Behind the Scenes Mentor Session – Tulsa When: Thursday, May 9th Time: 11:30AM – 1:00PM Where: ol’Vine Fresh Grill | 3523 South Peoria Ave | Tulsa, OK 74105 Lunch provided You must be an Advocate or OKWIT Contributing Executive to register.

Use your MemberID to access tickets! You can find this after logging in to your member account here. OKWIT’s Behind The Scenes Mentor Sessions are a great opportunity to meet with IT leaders in a small-group setting. Often we have set for ourselves the goal of being a manager, director, or a CXO because the path to that role seems logical for one’s career. Yet do we really understand the day-to-day activities and challenges of holding such a position? What is it really like to head a department or lead a division? What skills, knowledge, and credentials are needed to sit in that seat? Were there specific preparations to obtain the position? And once in the role, how does one traverse the day? This session mentor will share “a day in the life of their role” and what it took to get there and retain the position. About Jennifer Kingham: Ms. Kingham is the Chief Information Officer at NGL Energy Partners since April 2014. Prior to joining NGL, she served as the Chief Information Officer and Senior IT Audit Manager for nine years at a professional advisory firm. Additionally, she spent 12 years of her career at Williams in various IT technical and management positions. Ms. Kingham has a Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems and graduated Cum Laude.
