About us
This group is for those in support of women blazing a trail in IT Infrastructure!
Why I started this group and why you should join:
In 2019 I was given the opportunity to speak at the Colorado Technology Association's annual Women in Tech Conference about my journey in IT Infrastructure. I met incredible women from all walks of life who understand what it's like to be the only female on a technical team. I created this group because while women in our field are rare, you are not alone! Whether you've just started working in this tech, have been doing it for years, or simply want to network with other women in the industry, this group is for you!
We meet every other month around Denver to build a strong network of Women in Technical Infrastructure so you have peers to reach out to when a complicated project hits your desk, to gain insight into career paths in infrastructure, and to connect and find mentors. Our events range from happy hours, to guest speakers, and professional workshops. When possible, we always try to add a remote option.
This is an inclusive group and anyone who supports women in tech is welcome!

Ready Is Not a Requirement
Mytech Partners, Inc., 6251 Greenwood Plaza Blvd Ste 200, Greenwood Village, CO 80111, USA, Greenwood Village, CO, USReady is Not a Requirement: What Stepping Into AI Taught Me About Confidence, Growth, and Leadership
Featuring Heather Terning, Director of Capability Portfolio for AI and Automation at Envision Health
AI is creating entirely new roles, opportunities, and career paths at a pace we haven't seen before. But for many women, the biggest barrier to stepping into those opportunities isn't a lack of ability. It's the belief that we need to be completely qualified before we raise our hand.
What if being "ready" isn't actually a requirement?When Heather Terning saw an opportunity to move into AI leadership, she didn't have an AI-specific title on her résumé. Rather than treating that as a reason not to pursue the role, she advocated for the experience, leadership skills, and business perspective she already brought to the table.
She got the job.In this candid conversation, Heather will share what stepping into AI taught her about confidence, growth, and leadership, and why emerging fields like AI may actually offer women an incredible opportunity to redefine what it means to be qualified.
We'll talk about:
• Why you don't need an AI background to belong in AI
• Recognizing transferable skills when your résumé doesn't perfectly match the job description
• Advocating for yourself before someone else decides you're "ready"
• Moving through imposter syndrome when you're learning in public
• Building credibility in a rapidly evolving field
• Why women should be helping shape AI, not waiting until the industry is already definedWhether you're curious about moving into AI, considering a stretch role, or simply wondering whether you're qualified for the next opportunity in front of you, this conversation is for you.
You don't have to know everything before you step forward. Sometimes the opportunity is where the growth happens.##
