This last week I attended my first Girls in Tech Boise meeting.  With a group of like-minded and like-careered women I listened to one of those inspiring speakers that makes you feel relieved to know there are people like that in your community.  The mind behind the Think Boise First program discussed sustainable, local living and how the tech community combined with local marketing ideas can contribute to the goals.

After attending the meeting, I came back and did a little research on Girls in Tech.  Girls in Tech provides a network for women in the tech community to collaborate and grow in their profession.  Very cool.  What's even cooler is the fact that it's available here in Boise, Idaho.  When you look at the list of cities:  Boston, LA, Seattle, and among other large and tech-focused cities, Boise.

When I first started, I thought Balihoo uniquely represented a start up business in little Boise, Idaho, but it's become quite clear that Boise's got the people, the drive, and now I come to find out, even the resources to become a community that leads the technology and start up industry in the coming years.  So whether you're revolutionizing local store marketing through software, or building the next Facebook, Boise's got the technology goods.
