CWLI’s annual mentorship program, Women Mentoring Women, comprises eight different sessions that teach women how to mentor and develop other women’s leadership capabilities. The program includes 11 presenters over eight sessions who present on topics including personal branding, professional communication, mentoring, leadership and more.
