This new initiative aims to connect and empower women professionals and students across the entire South Plains, providing valuable insights and networking opportunities. Its purpose is to build a stronger, more inclusive tech ecosystem right here on the Caprock, fostering local talent from recent Texas Tech graduates to established firms near the Depot District.
