Iowa Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds attended the first ever “Girls Who Code” summit at Facebook headquarters in California. Reynolds says the purpose of the conference was to share ideas on closing the gender gap in technology fields.
The governors of Rhode Island and Oklahoma were also there. Reynolds says she talked with them about legislation working its way through the House and Senate in Iowa that will help.
Reynolds says it’s important to Iowa and the country to get more highly-skilled workers. She says it can be a great career for women.
