Thrive-WiSE is thrilled to welcome Amy Berg as Director of Operations.

Amy Berg has nearly two decades of experience building the fundraising and communications capacity of non-profits. Amy is thrilled to apply her commitment to equity, communications and fundraising expertise, and deep knowledge of the nonprofit sector, to the growth and sustainability of Thrive-WiSE. When she’s not advocating for women in tech, you can find Amy working on a short story, reading science fiction, cooking (and eating!) something delicious or watching the latest episode of something awesome.

About Thrive-WiSE: 

Thrive-WiSE / CodeChix is a 501©(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the  Education, Advocacy and Mentoring, of women engineers in industry and academia.   We aim to increase the number of women technologists in industry through our technical and workplace environment programs.

We focus on face-to-face communication (VIRTUAL in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic) and build a community of technical women supporting each other with their professional development.  To do this, we  conduct events, participate in competitions as a team, develop open-source projects on our GitHub repository and actively network to create a foundation for women engineers on the technical ladder in software and hardware.  Apart from these, we offer innovative services to tech companies such as Ally Training, Anti-Racism Training and Safe=Space programs to address the workplace environment which is critical to retention of technical women beyond recruiting.
