A research summary of tech worker experiences and attitudes in Southwest Missouri. The disparity between men and women in the tech industry (or in technical roles) is well-documented. A 2021 report by McKinsey concludes that women hold only 34% of entry-level engineering and product roles, and just 26% of all first-level management positions.

After an exhaustive review of over 100 nominations and hours of careful deliberation, Springfield Tech Council is proud to present the exceptional finalists for this year's Excellence in Technology Awards. The winners will be officially announced during our annual event scheduled for Friday, November 10th.
