Happy 2016!

Dear Women in the Digital World ,

At the start of this new year, I’d like to keep our traditions of greetings alive.

I send you my sincerest wishes for a 2016 full of shared joys, dreams that come true and resistance to gloom.

Life is a wonderful adventure to be enjoyed!

We had a 2015 that was still rich in events, interventions, mentoring, studies… within a wide and varied ecosystem (schools, universities, public institutions, government, digital players, press …..).

We have structured our action around an office where everyone has a clear mission and responsibilities, and regional managers to relay and initiate actions throughout France.

This is possible thanks to your commitment and involvement. You all contribute in your own way, directly or indirectly. On behalf of the Board and myself, we thank you.

Our action remains fundamental, with medium- and long-term effects, and the figures show every day that the major progress we had hoped for has not yet been achieved.

So there’s still a long way to go, and we’ll need to take further action, especially to make our professions more attractive. Let’s continue to be the ones who convey a positive message about the future of digital technology and women in this environment.

“Never doubt that a small group of conscious, committed individuals can change the world”Margaret Mead

We still believe in it!

We’ll be back to share the 2016 guidelines with you at the next committee meeting.

Thanks again for your support and all your actions, with a special mention for Anne Dauphine for her patience and continued commitment.

I wish you a great start to the new year!

All the best,

Véronique di Benedetto
President of Femmes du Numérique
