Women in Voice

Hi Women in Voice Community! The recession has been HARD. We’re sure you’ve been feeling it, too. We’ve got some difficult news... with a heavy heart, we financially cannot make it thru 2024. 😍 If folks gave JUST $2 to our 501c3, it would help tremendously. We'd be so honored and it's a tax write-off Donate today: https://lnkd.in/gVeDkT-r Also more info on our website: https://lnkd.in/gHsQ2ptQ

Exciting news! After 6 years as the Founder and President of Women in Voice, a global non-profit with 22 chapters in 16 countries, that celebrates, amplifies and connects women in voice technology, the multi-talented Dr. Joan Palmiter Bajorek has passed the baton to WiV Board Member Leslie Garcia-Amaya, Partnerships Lead for Gemini and Speech AI at Google.  A longtime champion of Women in Voice, Leslie has served on the Board of Directors since 2020 and played a critical role in securing corporate funding to kickstart Women In Voice career development programming for its members. Leslie has been a consistent advocate for closing the gender gap at the top over the course of her 15+ year career, both as Founder and Lead of the Women@ chapter for Global Product Partnerships at Google and in her 2021 talk on “The Women Building Voice AI” at Google’s largest annual developer conference, Google I/O. Join us in celebrating ✨Joan's legacy and all the ways she continues to impact our global community through Your AI Roadmap, and congratulating Leslie as we launch into the next chapter for our community. More exciting news to come...✨ #leadership #womeninvoice #wiv #womeninai #conversationalai #voicetech
