This brings to mind the convo I've quietly been having with some other female ed tech leaders

TarahWheelerVanVlack's comment, February 4, 2013 11:53 PM
What conversation?
GwynethJones's comment, February 5, 2013 8:28 AM
How ironic that in a profession (Ed Tech) dominated by very smart women, why does it seem that we choose our keynote speakers & thought leaders as OWG's?(old white guys) Conference planners (mostly women) will create a keynote lineup of all OWG keynoters and pay them 2X up to 3X more than the cool chick voice.

But I’m loathe to nip the hand that feeds me or stir the pot (more than usual!) – however it rankles so! We need voices like yours out there to advocate for the smart, talented, strong female voice. Thank you for being awesome.
