DCFemTech is a coalition of women leaders aimed at amplifying the efforts of women in tech organizations. The group hosts an annual event to recognize the accomplishments of women and nonbinary individuals who are coders, designers and data scientists.

“While D.C. is ahead of the curve with the community and resources available for women in technology, efforts like this will only continue to make D.C. a more welcoming and inclusive environment for future innovation,” DC Government CTO Lindsey Parker said in a statement.

The 49 awardees were selected from a pool of 704 nominations, showing a nearly 80 percent increase in nominations from two years prior, DCFemTech reported. A committee of 45 judges comprised of engineers, designers, data scientists and executives were split across the three categories to select the recipients. DCFemTech reported that the finalists ranked in the top 15 percent of their categories.

The organization is honoring this year’s award recipients on June 17 at The Hamilton Live.
