Women in Technology's (WIT) Best Employer in Georgia Awards recognize organizations that have created superior workplaces and environments rich in opportunities for women to advance their careers in technology.  These awards highlight leading Georgia employers that serve as examples to other employers who aspire to motivate, retain, and grow diverse workforces.

WIT's Best Employer in Georgia Awards also serve as a critical resource to help women identify organizations that are committed to the professional advancement of women in technology.  It assist organizations in their efforts to recruit top women candidates for key jobs in the technology sector.

A Special Tribute to Georgia's Non-Profits

The hurricanes of 2005 required unprecedented response from the non-profit community, as thousands fled the floodwaters.  Women in Technology highlighted the inspiring work that many of Georgia's organizations–both non and for profit–are doing to help the people that were affected by these devastating hurricanes.  WIT and the technology community applaud these organizations for their tireless efforts and dedication in helping people recover their lives, homes and livelihoods.

"As someone who has worked at Southern Company for a long time, I see the big strides our company is making in promoting, hiring and developing women leaders.  When Southern Company was awarded the 2003 WIT Award for Women in Executive Positions, it was a wonderful way for the company to be recognized publicly for the progressive work environment it has fostered for its employees."
