OLYMPIC VALLEY -- Santa Clara County Chief Information Officer Ann Dunkin joined four other women IT executives in discussing “Women In Tech” Nov. 5 at the 2019 California County Information Services Directors Association (CCISDA) Fall Conference near Lake Tahoe.

The public-sector culture presents its own challenges, Dunkin said afterward — but she emphasized there may be more opportunities for women to contribute there and “achieve their full potential.”
