Mattai and Leslie Jones, senior vice president and chief information officer of Motorola, Inc., are serving as honorary chairs of the 24-hour global event.

“Women are still underrepresented in engineering and technology, yet they have so much to offer,” said Mattai. “The Global Marathon provides young women with access to role models who have been successful in their fields and who are eager to share their stories.”
The Global Marathon, targeted to college-age and professional women, as well as young women in middle and high school, features 48 activities, including webcasts, live events, Internet chats, teleconferencing and pre-recorded sessions. All will be available to a worldwide audience.
