Our women's user group embraces intersectionality, valuing and respecting the diverse backgrounds, identities, and experiences of its members, creating an inclusive space within the AWS community.**
- Collaboration and Support: We encourage collaboration among our members and promote an environment of support and encouragement. Share your AWS projects, seek feedback, and find opportunities for collaboration within the user group.
