Benefits for mentors and protégés include networking, candid conversations and confidence building. Other benefits include hearing career success stories from women leaders and creating long-term relationships. The protégé and mentor one-on-one meetings afford unique access to industry leaders and their insight.

Feedback about the Program:

“Resilience, Confidence and Endurance are the three main takeaways from this year’s program. WTS women grappled with the pandemic together and found a community.”

“Don’t ever feel like you to are too small, too unimportant, or too "low on the totem pole" to reach out. Thank you so much for all the women - mentors, mentees, guest speakers - who have given me motivation to speak up, ask questions, and be my own advocate!”
