In the VA Office of Information and Technology (OI&T), women play a significant role in achieving VA’s goals. In fact, more than 25 percent of VA OI&T’s Senior Executive Service positions are held by women. Compare that to private industry, where, according to the Center for American Progress, women hold only nine percent of management positions in the IT field and account for just over 14 percent of executive officer positions at Fortune 500 companies. Women in IT leadership at VA spearhead some of the agency’s crucial missions, such as ensuring the security of Veteran health information, implementing VA’s electronic health record, transforming Veterans benefits delivery, managing how IT dollars are spent, and gathering and analyzing IT data.
To celebrate and honor Women's History Month, the VA asks for photograph submissions of female Veterans.
