“Each year, Portland Women in Technology (PDXWIT) captures important data about the tech industry, independent of company, group or association affiliation. Our goal is to deeply understand what it is like for people in the community and to identify themes that need to be addressed. In developing the 2019 survey, we found opportunities to improve the dataset from 2018. We made some substantial changes":

• Open the survey up to a national audience
• Expand the racial, ethnicity, gender and LGBTQ demographic questions
• Layer in questions that identify experiences related to bigotry and racism”
