History

History of the PyLadies Global Council

The beginnings

At PyCon US 2019, several PyLadies organizers and other key stakeholders met to discuss the future of PyLadies. After 10 years of existence, PyLadies had grown from a small collection of United States based chapters to a vibrant international community.

At the Future of Us workshop, participants discussed several topics including:

organizational priorities
resource management
fundraising

However, the largest challenge the workshop identified was the need for a centralized leadership body. Thus the Global Council was born.

Planning for the future
