ePlus inc. (NASDAQ NGS: PLUS – news) today announced its
sponsorship of Check Point’s virtual Women in IT event in support
of the drive to engage more women in STEM fields, including cyber
security.
The event, which will take place online on Tuesday, September
15, 2020 from 12:00 - 1:30 PM ET, will bring together a panel of
female leaders to connect and consider how organizations are
navigating today's uncharted waters and how they will adapt in the
months ahead. The panel will feature special guest speaker, Erin
Brockovich, an iconic environmental activist, consumer advocate,
real-life inspiration for the Oscar-winning film Erin Brockovich,
and New York Times bestselling author.
The event will also include dialogue around:
- Diversity in the workplace and why it is important to recruit
more women to IT positions
- Finding work/life balance with remote working blurring the
lines between work and home life
- Management strategies
- Recruitment and retention of women in technology and leadership
positions
“It is a well-known fact that there is a shortage of women in
STEM fields and, as a leading IT integrator, ePlus has an important
role to play in helping to address that issue,” said Elaine Marion,
CFO. “We are committed to helping to drive interest, learning,
engagement and diversity in technology, and as Check Point’s
America’s Cloud Partner of the Year, we are proud of our
partnership with Check Point as well as our sponsorship of the
Women in IT event.”
Two charities have been selected as beneficiaries of the event.
