About the Program:
The Baltimore chapter’s Annual Young Mentoring Program is designed to connect women experienced in transportation careers with less experienced professionals in the industry. The goal of the program is to foster mentoring relationships where WTS members have access to the tools and support systems needed to achieve professional success.
Typically, the program is held between the months of October and June. During the fall kickoff meeting, Mentees and Mentors are paired through a fun, interactive exercise. Mentors and Mentees connect individually and as a group through structured and unstructured interactions. Unstructured interactions are done at times convenient for the Mentor and Mentee. Structured interactions include participation in a series of monthly professional and social events sponsored by the program.

Past Experiences
“It was an honor to participate in the WTS Next Level Leadership Program alongside an exceptional group of talented, supportive, and empowering women. The Program was transformative, providing me with the opportunity to reflect on both the strengths of my leadership skills and areas for further growth. The experience fostered an environment where candid, vulnerable discussions were met with support, and the diverse stories and experiences shared by others were deeply inspiring. I graduated from the Program feeling empowered and equipped with the tools and insights necessary to lead with confidence, collaboration, and purpose.”

Next Level Leadership Program - Class of 2024
“The WTS Next Level Leadership Program provided a welcoming space to discuss shared experiences with a diverse range of women in the industry. We came to the table with different backgrounds, years of experience, and goals, but walked away as stronger professionals and friends. I'm grateful for the many discussions on what it means to lead and be led and for the kinship forged within this team of talented women professionals.”
Alexis Morris, Rossi Transportation Group
Next Level Leadership Program - Class of 2024
"Joining the Next Level Leadership Program started out as a way for me to hone my leadership skills and grow into a more effective leader at my company. What came next was 6+ months of networking, learning about myself, and strengthening communication techniques with a group of women who genuinely cared about each other’s success. The small group setting allowed for a more in-depth look into topics related to self-evaluation and skill development. Upon graduation, I felt equipped to handle increased responsibilities, receive feedback in a productive way, and work at my highest potential. The Next Level Leadership Program was my first introduction to WTS Baltimore which has provided an amazing network of women to learn from, surround myself with, and continue to grow alongside.”
