Retail Women in Tech (RWIT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization uniting women and allies, across the globe, to strengthen mobility and secure parity by 2030. We are change makers, champions and catalysts.

RWIT exists to redesign the system. Not as another networking group but as a workforce engine that drives impact and outcomes through:
Belonging → Visibility → Access → Mobility → Leadership

Because no one else is. Progress isn’t compounding and headwinds are strong. Retention challenges, readiness gaps and leadership shortages directly constrain growth, just as demand for an AI fluency is surging.

We create spaces across cities, campuses, and roles where everyone feels seen and supported to create meaningful connections. (The word networking gives us the ick).

We provide mentorship, internships and personal and professional support , accelerating readiness and forward movement. We are committed to building AI literacy, fluency and adoption.

We connect retailers, brands, technology, media, consulting, capital and academia, expanding access. The result: faster innovation and career and industry growth. We are breaking down the traditional silos. We do nothing that is exclusive (another ick word).

We are a conduit. We amplify the voices of our community: the journeys, achievements, thought leadership and the facts. We make visible the good, the bad and the ugly.. Benchmarking and measurement are required and accountability matters.
