Allison Nazarian, president and founder of Get It In Writing, has taken the reins of leadership in the community and brings her experience to help local women succeed with the Internet and technology and to lead the activities of this group.

"I'm very excited to lead the newest chapter of Webgrrls International, the Boca/Fort Lauderdale Webgrrls," said Nazarian. “Our community of business women and women professionals can really benefit from coming together and connecting with each other.”

“Through the Boca/Fort Lauderdale Webgrrls and Webgrrls International, we will have a local feel and an international reach
for networking, gaining new skills, finding new jobs and getting support for our professional endeavors.”

Founded in April 1995 in New York City, Webgrrls International was the first Internet organization for women and now has chapters around the world. Each chapter is led by a local woman who has taken the initiative to bring the organization to the community.
