The Connecticut Technology Council held its fifth annual Women of Innovation Awards Dinner and Program on Thursday, January 29th 2009 at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington. This occasion celebrates and honors the energy, creativity and remarkable capabilities of 52 women working in Connecticut's science, engineering and technology community. This event salutes all the nominees and finalists - women who are innovators, role models and leaders. Students at both the high school and college level are also recognized. This years list of 52 finalists includes researchers, educators, managers, business owners and service providers who work in biotech, pharmaceuticals, telecom, software, computer hardware, electronics, alternative energy, nanotech, medical devices and IT.

"After five years, we now have an alumni group of over 250 finalists. By gathering together this accomplished community, we hope to support and encourage women and girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math, and foster a collaborative network, said Matthew Nemerson, president and CEO of the Connecticut Technology Council. Connecticut has an extraordinary pool of talent at its technology companies. We are proud to provide them with a professional network of other women who strive for excellence.
