The Women’s Leadership Initiative welcomes your
participation
and support at every level.
Programatically
- Mentor a WLI student

- Provide an externship site for a WLI student
- Broaden the WLI network by suggesting women leaders who can contribute to WLI programming
"My experience of having a mentor has
been great. Joan and I are a great match, I think. I knew
that Joan was not a speech pathologist, which worried me
at first. But it really didn’t matter. Joan took interest
in my education, friends, family, professional and personal
goals. We had so much to talk about in emails and in person!
She is so successful and was completely open to share her
own experiences with me. I learned a lot about her business
sense and other important decisions that I will need to make,
regardless of my profession. Thanks for giving me the chance
to get to know such a wonderful role model! "

"Please always know that I
am here and when I get out of college and become
successful that I will be donating money to this
program and coming back to speak at a key note speaker
session ? Seriously, I want to give a huge thank
you to making this program and giving me the opportunity
to be a part of the inaugural class. WLI has opened
so many doors for me and because of this program
I now have numerous connections and people that want
to help me become successful…"
