Kitty Reeve
Kitty Reeve began her online career at Third Age, a start-up site for baby boomers, where she wrote and produced the Special Reports and hosted a weekly chat and two forums. She is currently the Community Chat Manager for PlanetRx.com, an online health site, where she is developing the chat community. Prior to her PlanetRx job, she worked on "Love Stories," a PBS/Web Lab project on diversity.

Kitty's background is in journalism and photography. In addition to co-authoring a book, "The New Photography," many of Kitty's features for the Chicago Tribune have been syndicated nationally. Her assignments vary widely, from photographing open heart surgery and interviewing poet Maya Angelou and astronaut Eileen Collins to traveling twice to Pakistan to report on the Afghanistan refugees.

Kitty moved to Berkeley from the Boston area in 1996 and is the founder and chair of the GreenWise Investment Group, a Berkeley-based investment club for women.

Frances Doughty
A paradigm of non-linear career development, Frances started as a teacher of Greek and Latin, then applied her language skills to coding PL1, learned multimedia at San Francisco State while a technical team lead for mainframe financial applications, and finally moved to the Interactive Banking Division, where she led the technical team that created Bank of America's first online banking application, and is now involved in deploying new technologies such as OFX to support non-Web-based interactive channels.

In the 70's, Frances also served as an activist for social change relating to women, lesbians, and gay men. She was a Co-Chair and founding board member of the National Gay Task Force. In the waning years of the twentieth century, she has become an activist again, joining Kitty Reeve in 1998 to build WIM40+.
