CHICAGO, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 10, join The Executives' Club of Chicago's Technology Committee as it convenes for a discussion around bridging the gender gap in the technology field. Even though nine out of the ten most powerful women in business have STEM backgrounds and an increasing number of females are enrolling in college STEM programs, women are still vastly underrepresented in information technology roles at American companies.

At this panel discussion, women technology leaders will discuss how companies can become attractive to top female talent and will disclose unique strategies to retain them. The panelists will also share how their companies are staying ahead of the competition and recount their personal experiences and paths to success.
