<div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#8C0095">I have attended two meetings and very disappointed with the diversity of this organization. The first time I attended, I felt unwelcome and never returned, but kept privy to the communication to see how this organization developed and progressed. Additionally, I understand the importance of Python as a development language, because it's constantly required in the job descriptions.<br>
<br>Most recently, I attended the meeting at Bank of America and it remains status quo as it pertains to diversity.<br><br>As a budding entrepreneur in the health care industry whose product involves an ecosystem of government agencies (Federal, State, Civil), multinational companies and health care providers, I am often asked how do I get other minorities involved in technology. As a leader, I reply, partnerships, collaboration and teamwork are crucial. Therefore, I attend and get involved in various meetup organizations to learn and most important understand how these organizations engage with the diverse communities of Chicago to create and sustain innovation so that when I recommend an organization, I know that their best interest lies in the citizens of Chicago.<br>
<br>Chipy should focus on partnerships, collaboration and teamwork to make certain that those citizens of Chicago who want to learn and engage in python development are welcome and LEARN. Python is a very common language used in development and Chipy should be using their resources to communicate this message to the citizens of Chicago.<br>
