It occurs to me it might be nice to not just recognize women in tech, but thank them for sticking with it, despite any sexism and discouragement they may have encountered along the way.
I've seen the case made both anecdotally and empirically that women, or maybe more generally, mixed gender teams, boards of directors, etc., have broader perspectives, make better decisions, take less bad risks, and are more generally enriching than all-male.
So, perhaps a simple 'thanks for sticking with it and bringing that' would be a nice addition.
