International Women’s Day is coming up, so grab your best friends and join us for a brunch at Santa Clara Türk Evi to celebrate with us on March 6th at 11 am (PST)

Two incredibly successful and amazing Turkish women in engineering and leadership, Serpil Bayraktar and Seval Oz, will be joining us to talk about their experiences.

And we’ll be featuring Mert Ozel’s new song “Women” which was composed just for this special day!
