A2I August Coffee Chat

The AWIS-SD Academia 2 Industry (A2i) Coffee Club is an informal gathering for women in academia who are interested in transitioning to an industry career. Meetings will be held online using the Zoom platform (https://zoom.us/). The next meeting will be on Thursday, August 6, 2020 at 5:00 pm (PT). Two days prior to the meeting, you will be given a Meeting ID and a Password for joining.

For our August meet-up, A2I has invited Carrie Sawyer to speak with the group. Carrie Sawyer is the founder of Diversity by Design, a San Diego firm that uses design thinking to help leaders cultivate inclusive environments where teams can do their best work. With almost two decades of experience in human centered design, Carrie launched Diversity by Design after using her people-centered approach to build and implement diversity and inclusion strategies at both Intel and Qualcomm. She loves sharing inclusive insights that elevate business thinking and help teams to perform at their highest levels.

Carrie will speak about her experience in leadership, entrepreneurship, and inclusive team building, as well as her challenges and perspectives as a woman in industry. 

Please join us Thursday, August 6, 2020 at 5:00 pm (PT), with questions for Carrie.
