March is Women’s History Month and a time to celebrate the world-changing contributions from daring, innovative, and entrepreneurial women, both past and present, who have helped shape our current societies, technologies, and cultures. These women not only paved the way for future advancements across industries but demonstrated tenacity to break through societal barriers and make a difference across the globe. From Marie Curie to Rosa Parks to Malala Yousafzai, and countless others, women have been shaping our history, and we are honored to celebrate their accomplishments this month and every month.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, we also celebrate the remarkable professional women making an impact at FormAssembly. From establishing several women as leaders to nurturing female talent through mentorship programs, our company is proud to support and facilitate an equal and inclusive environment for our women in tech.

Women of FormAssembly mentorship program
The Women of FormAssembly mentorship group is a program designed to help nurture and retain female talent at FormAssembly through network, learning, and growth. The program celebrates equity and growth among FormAssembly’s women professionals and encourages connection, and support through mentor and mentee relationships, and up-leveling women on the team.
“During my six years at FormAssembly, I’ve watched as our team has developed and matured in every sense. As we continue to be at the forefront of equality and inclusion, I wanted to create a place for the women at FormAssembly to connect, learn, and grow together,” said Ashley McAlpin, VP of Marketing and Sales Development. “Being a woman in tech can be isolating, and the Women of FormAssembly program allows us to create a supportive environment to lift each other up and empower the next female leaders in tech.”
