Mentorship 

Mentor / Mentee relationships are key to growing a future together.

Mentoring relationships are win-win for both participants. For the mentee, it means gains insights and experiences from a seasoned person wanting to help you in your career or at your workplace. The mentor realizes personal fulfillment while supporting a mentee.

A sincere ‘thank you’ to everyone who has expressed interest in this initiative. Support – especially from our male allies – is critical to advancing the conversation and culture. However, as this new initiative gets established, it is important that we first foster a safe environment for our female colleagues to share their perspective and experience of current state and future opportunity. As a result, please note that the initial kick-off sessions are designated for women only.

This approach is not an attempt to exclude any voice, but rather, to create a uniquely safe space for voices that may not typically be shared. Ally support is critical to the broader work and future programming, so while initial gathering is limited to females, we all play an important role in our future state. We will continue to update you on opportunities to engage and contribute.  Thank you again to everyone who continues to express interest and energy around this important initiative.
