Rooted in a legacy of community and peer-to-peer support, HWIT carries forward the spirit of kuleana and initiative sparked by local women in tech, wahine who united with a shared drive to connect, uplift one another, and lead with intention.
In 2025, our Founding Board founded the organization and is laying the groundwork for HWIT’s long-term impact. Together, we are focused on developing Hawai‘i’s homegrown talent and bridging pathways that harness technology to shape the future of education, work, and life.
