Intellectual Ventures (IV) will be working with EYH conferences in Bellevue, Washington and Seattle, Washington. Female inventors from their Washington offices will attend both the Seattle EYH conference and the Bellevue EYH conferences and lead several hands-on workshops focusing on the science behind innovation. IV will also be working with the Network to start a new EYH conference in the Washington, DC area.

The Network was assigned Dave Wickersham, Seagate President and Chief Operating Officer. Wickersham states, since its inception in 1976.gWomen continue to be underrepresented in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math, and getting young girls involved in the sciences earlier enables them to gain the confidence and enthusiasm to explore future career opportunities. Expanding Your Horizons conferences provide an excellent entry into the world of science and allow young women the opportunity to engage in these fascinating fields.h

Symantec Partnership Program

Symantec is the newest sponsor to join the EYH family. Symantec has provided the EYH Network with funding to support local EYH conferences. This funding will be used to increase scholarships and for outreach to minority young women.

A small portion of the funding will also be used to support a one-day professional conference for all Bay Area conference organizers. During this conference topics will range from how to increase fundraising efforts, to how to make sure workshop leaders are leading effective hands-on workshops.

Symantec will also work with the EYH Network to try to get more of their employees to become workshop leaders at EYH events.
