Today was an extraordinary day, an important day, a catalyzing day. The energy in the room was palpable. "Days like this don’t come along very often." - Sudip Parikh, CEO of AAAS "This is the most exciting meeting I have been to in the last 10 years." - Oona King, VP of Diversity at SNAP "Today, it is time to make this national vision, a national reality." - Dr. Alondra Nelson, Deputy Assistant to the President "We have been waiting 20 years for this day." Nikole Collins-Puri, CEO of Techbridge Girls Today, with The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, AAAS, Office of Science and Technology Policy, and 80+ partners, the STEMM Opportunity Alliance (SOA) was launched. The SOA is the first effort of its kind and marks the creation of a national, multi-sector strategy designed to address the gaps and roadblocks that are far too common in STEMM. We are so incredibly proud that Tiger Global Impact Ventures' commitment to Gender Equity in Tech is being included in this effort. We are thrilled to be in the company of so many outstanding partners. And we are ready to get to work. Together, we can - and we will - solve this problem. And when we do…our communities, our companies, and our country will be better for it.
