+[Smart Chicago Collaborative](http://smartchicagocollaborative.org/) and Progressive Hacknight have teamed up to create a speaking series in celebration of Women’s History Month in an effort to elevate the talented, diverse women in civic-driven technology across Chicago.
Too often in the tech space we hear about what people do or what product they have made and less about their personal narratives. In this series, we encourage our speakers to share their stories as a transformative learning and inspirational opportunity.
Additionally, we acknowledge the lack of diversity in the civic tech community and believe that becoming more community-based with easier opportunities for engagement and gaining experience will spurn interest in the field and potentially serve as an economic solution to fill technology vacancies in Chicago.
-This partnership is especially timely considering Smart Chicago is currently an all women team fighting the good fight on behalf of civic technology and engagement and Prog Hacknight has set a priority area of focus on diversifying its thriving developer community.

+Volunteers at Progressive Hacknight tackled this project on a weekly basis. From November 2015 through May 2016, a half-dozen to a dozen volunteers worked on the project during Hack Night, nights, and weekends. The project's [weekly meeting notes](https://github.com/Chicago/e-coli-beach-predictions/wiki/ChiHackNight-Meeting-Notes) show the dedicated work from the team.
