December 2009 Rocky Talk - A letter from our president
The holiday season is here -- a time when we reflect back on the past year to evaluate progress towards goals, and look ahead to a new year and new
plans.
As I look back at 2009, I am proud of the achievements of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of WICT. In a year of economic challenge, our members and supporting companies remained engaged and invested and together we developed women leaders at all levels. Our 10th Annual Walk of Fame Gala honored amazing industry leaders for their achievements in 2008/2009 and we took the opportunity to look back at just how far WICT RM has come in the past 10 years. Our three-part video series featuring past Walk of Fame honorees, Reflections of Our Success, provided poignant insight, influence and impact. Class IV graduated from our Rocky Mountain Leadership Institute, taking with them new leadership skills and critical connections with other local female leaders on the rise. Mentors and mentees learned from each other. Tech it Out and our many other programs gave attendees rich information to integrate into day-to-day roles.

Key Programs
Supporting local women with compelling developmental programs and professional advancement opportunities are key objectives for WICT Rocky Mountain. The organization balances networking, education and leadership-building activities to support women at all levels of their careers.
Mentoring - The WICT Rocky Mountain Mentoring Program matches WICT members with local industry leaders who offer insight and inspiration through a six-month mentoring and coaching relationship. The journey in self-discovery and growth offers opportunities to build confidence and personal effectiveness in a safe and supportive environment.
Tech It Out - The WICT Rocky Mountain Tech It Out program promotes the wide scope of cable technology opportunities to women who are already employed in the cable industry, but who may not be fully aware of the options available to them. Additionally, the program showcases the cable technology industry to women in other professions who have the necessary skill sets and would like to consider cable as a career path option.
Senior Executive Leadership and Alumni Program - Now in its fourth year, the Rocky Mountain Chapter sponsors this year-long leadership development program for women with senior leadership roles in the region. In addition to the five full days spent exploring topics such as emotional intelligence, gender and generational differences, and power and risk taking, the twenty women who participate each year benefit from small group coaching sessions to facilitate their personal leadership growth. The Senior Executive Leadership and Alumni Program is a wonderful opportunity for the chapter to provide something of value to the women leaders in the region and entice them back into the mainstream of the Rocky Mountain region activities.
