The Women Mentoring Women program is offered annually by the Chattanooga Women’s Leadership Institute and is designed for women who are interested in, or who by virtue of their position in an organization share a passion for, advancing other women. During the program, participants will develop their mentoring skills, enabling them to mentor and develop other women in the community or in their place of business.
