WLI Newsletter | Designing The Difference | Volume 8

Welcome to a new year and a new look for WLI’s quarterly newsletter. We’ve been busy revamping our brand and planning for an incredible 2022… and beyond! Just a few highlights to share with you:

Website: You can still find us on GSA’s website, but we now have our own site at designthesolution.org. We’ll be continuing to add functionality and features this year as we grow and expand.

Events: We’re excited for a return to in-person events so be sure to save the date for our second annual Women in Semiconductor Hardware | WISH Conference on September 13, 2022. Our WISH Technical Committee will be announced soon, and we’ll be issuing a call for technical papers in the next few months.

And, look for an announcement soon about upcoming Lunch & Learns with some incredible women in our industry being featured speakers.

Upcoming newsletter editions: We’re looking for great content for 2022. Our next newsletter will be in May so if you’re interested in contributing an article, video or podcast, reach out to us at wli@gsaglobal.org.

University programming: We have a BIG announcement coming soon so keep your eyes on our news and social media. We can’t wait to share it with you!

There are many more activities planned for 2022 and we want YOU to join our efforts. If you’re interested in participating drop us an email. We’d love to hear from you!
