Fulton County Schools Chief Information Officer, Serena Sacks, was named one of Georgias top Women of the Year in Technology.

The Women of the Year in Technology Awards program is sponsored by Women in Technology (WIT), an organization focused on creating opportunities for girls and women in the field of technology. The program honors the accomplishments of Georgias top female leaders in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and the impact theyve made in their communities. A winner was named in three categories: Small/Emerging, Medium/Mid-Size and Large/Enterprise businesses.

It is an honor to accept this award on behalf of Fulton County Schools and the work we are doing to help each student reach their potential, said Sacks, who was recognized in the Medium/Mid-Size Business category. As a female CIO, I believe in being a strong representative and champion of women in the technology industry. We set the example for young girls everywhere who are developing an interest in STEM fields and who may just need a role model or some encouragement to succeed.
