Take a look at some testimonials from our previous program participants!
"It's such a wonderful program! I have had the best experience getting connected with an experienced industry leader who has been able to provide me with a lot of high-value information and recommendations for decision-making, especially being new to the industry and growing my department!
"This has been such a great experience. In addition to our roles within the industry, my mentee and I have much in common in how we deal with issues. We are able to talk about current work-related concerns, sharing our viewpoints on how we deal with situations. It has been a great learning experience for me as a mentor as well! I'm excited to make this new connection with my mentee, and also develop a friendship!"
"I've really enjoyed the opportunity to be able to freely engage with another professional that has experienced or is experiencing similar bottlenecks or roadblocks within this industry. Even after the first meeting, I felt comfortable to ask any type of question that I wouldn't normally ask to my team to gain honest, open-ended feedback. I have enjoyed so many of our conversations and hope to be a part of the next mentorship program."
"I loved connecting with other women in the industry. Sometimes being a woman in this field can feel incredibly isolating. It was nice to know that I am not alone in my experiences and to have someone to bounce ideas off of. Ya'll did a great job matching me with my mentor and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in this program."
