The Washington State Senate recognizes the significant achievements of Women in Cloud, a grassroots economic development organization founded in Seattle, which aims to create $1 billion in economic access and opportunities for women entrepreneurs by 2030. With a current valuation exceeding $500 million, Women in Cloud is dedicated to empowering the next generation of women in the tech industry, community leadership, and lawmaking. The organization highlights the importance of diversity in fostering innovation and creativity, as evidenced by research from Harvard Business Review and Forbes, which points to the underrepresentation of women in the tech workforce.

Women in Cloud has cultivated a community of over 70,000 members and hosts the influential Annual Summit, which attracts more than 1,000 participants from over 25 countries, facilitating connections that promote economic development. Their initiatives, including the ESG Women's Leadership Program, aim to inspire and empower women and girls to pursue careers in professional and technological fields. The Senate resolution commends Women in Cloud for its contributions to increasing the representation of women leaders and encourages the continued support of their mission.
