Founded in 1979, Women in Cable Telecommunications is a professional association serving nearly 5,000 industry professionals from across the country. WICT's mission is to develop women leaders who transform our industry. Membership is open to all women and men who are employed in a professional capacity in a facet of the cable and telecommunications industry or a closely related field.
The New York Chapter of Women in Cable Telecommunications strives to help its members stay connected to one another and to the industry at large. The Chapter's most effective tool in achieving that goal is its line-up of popular programs and events for both members and non-members. A few examples:
