Description

What happens after you win a Women In Tech Award or Scholarship? Join the Technology Council of Central PA for an inspiring virtual Women In Tech Breakfast panel featuring several of our 2025 Women In Tech Award and Scholarship winners as they reflect on the moments, milestones, and motivations that shaped their journeys.

In this candid conversation, our panelists will share what winning the award or scholarship meant to them, the personal and professional paths that brought them here, and the ways they’re contributing to Central PA’s tech ecosystem today. From career pivots and perseverance to leadership lessons and future aspirations, this session offers an inside look at the stories behind the recognition—and what’s next for these remarkable individuals.

The discussion will be guided by Denise Murren, IT Manager, Diversified Business Solutions – Integration Delivery / Shared Services, enGen, and will feature insights from: 

•Shirley Clark, Interim Director, School of Science, Engineering, and Technology, Penn State Harrisburg

•Vahid Motevalli, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Chief Academic Officer, Penn State Harrisburg

•Alessia Revelli, Student, Susquehanna University

This session is intentionally timed to coincide with the open nomination period for the 2026 Women In Tech Awards, making it the perfect opportunity to get inspired, recognize the impact happening all around us, and take action. As you listen to these stories, we hope you’ll start thinking about the women in your own network whose work, leadership, and influence deserve to be celebrated next.

Whether you’re early in your career, a seasoned leader, or a passionate advocate for women in tech, you’ll leave this session energized—and ready to help spotlight the next class of Women In Tech Award honorees.
