About the Speaker - Amy Cerkas: 

Amy Cerkas is a project manager and former IT business analyst with a passion for empowering women in technology. As a neurodivergent leader, Amy draws on both professional experience and lived perspective to help teams build inclusive, supportive environments where diverse thinkers can thrive. She is excited to join WIT of Northeast Wisconsin to spark conversation on how neurodiversity can positively transform workplaces for women and other underrepresented professionals.

This is our first-ever HYBRID event!

We are excited to offer both in-person and virtual (Microsoft Teams) options. While in-person attendees will enjoy interactive breakout sessions and networking opportunities, the virtual option ensures you can still tune in and be part of the conversation -- no matter where you are. Thank you for your patience as we navigate this new format!
