The daily routine might have replaced that initial #BackToSchool excitement, but there are still plenty of ways to stay driven for moving the needle for women in tech throughout the rest of the school season. As a change leader, you make a profound positive impact on women’s decisions to continue their educational and professional pursuits in computing. But, have you considered how active mentoring can amplify your influence?
Mentoring can have positive effects for both mentees and mentors. Mentees experience increased confidence and skill set development while mentors experience personal satisfaction and career enhancement. Whether you currently participate in a mentoring program or are interested in joining one, this newsletter features resources and programs for next steps in making the most out of a mentoring experience.
In the spirit of #BackToSchool, we look forward to equipping you with more NCWIT programs and resources to help you achieve your goals as a change leader. READ MORE

Simplifying email testing and analytics 1770_ 9/28/15 -
Larry welcomes John Thies, co-founder of Email on Acid a Colorado company that does business around the world and focuses on developing tools that simplify email testing and analytics. "When we started this company, email development was anything but easy. The Internet was full of resources for web developers, but we could hardly find anything to help email developers. So we set out to create a service that would make it easy to find and fix email problems, and give developers and marketers a place to talk about email. We love email (obviously), and are dedicated to making email testing and marketing as simple as possible. Email design and development can be difficult, but we've developed an entire body of content to help you hone your skills and improve your efforts." RELATED LINKS:

There's More to this Prescription (Part 2 of 2)
Doc Stanley's prescription (Part 1 of 2) 1766_ 9/21/15 - Stanley Feld M.D., FACP,MACE has some very fascinating insights on the challenging U.S. healthcare system. Larry asked Stan about that issue. Dr. Feld had a lot to tell us. The insurance industry announced that insurance premiums in both the federal and state health insurance exchanges are going up 50% in 2016. The group private markets will increase by the same percentages. Insurance rates for 2015 were unaffordable for small businesses, and large corporations. One church that buys insurance in the private healthcare insurance market had its rates increased 37%. Instead of dropping insurance for their employees and paying the penalty, the church agreed to the pay the increased premiums. The church compensated for this increase in expenses by increasing church membership dues. Some members had to quit the church. Eighty-five percent of members in Obamacare are receiving a government subsidy. A high percentage of that 85% are receiving higher subsidies than they are entitled to receive because of government lack of verification. Eventually, when healthcare.gov website connects with the IRS, the government will find out that people received higher subsidies than they are entitled to. The recipients will get a bill they cannot afford. Obamacare’s reinsurance subsidies for the health insurance industries are expiring in 2016. The insurance industry is raising insurance premiums to cover the revenue lost by not receiving the Obamacare insurance company subsidies in 2016.
