Fostering Passion, Excitement, and Self-Confidence
Technology pioneer Doug Semon, beloved husband of 2010 WIT honoree Leslie Ellis, passed away unexpectedly in 2020. He had a successful career in the cable industry and was a dedicated mentor for George Washington High School’s FRC Team 1410, “The Kraken,” supporting the FIRST Robotics program in Denver. To honor Doug’s legacy, the SCTE Foundation, in partnership with past SCTE/WICT Women in Technology Award honorees, established this fund to inspire young science and technology leaders. Grants can be awarded to active high school FIRST teams nominated by professionals in the broadband industry.
Please join us in supporting this very important endeavor to secure Doug’s legacy, fostering passion, excitement, and self-confidence in our next generation of technology leaders.
