Community Spotlight: Women Who WP

“Our group brings together women (and men) who blog, design, develop, and market in the WordPress community. Meetings begin with introductions and a 30 minute pre-determined discussion on a WordPress topic the 3rd Wednesday of each month. We learn over dinner and then everyone takes 2 minutes to share something they’ve learned in WordPress that month.

Since we organized we’ve seen many WordPressers in our local community get involved and develop confidence in their skills and themselves. We’ve witnessed many of our members submit as speakers for the first time and encouraged others to begin their own local WomenWhoWP Meetups (worldwide). Friendships have developed and mentorship has naturally evolved. It’s amazing to be a part of such an inspiring group!”
