PowerTalk Mentoring

IWD features a Power Talk Mentoring Program with mentees including local college students, emerging leaders from our sponsors, and community organization participants who will be joined by IWF member mentors. Mentors will share insights with mentees during this time in person at Georgia-Pacific, and moderated by Natosha Reid Rice.

PowerTalk takes place following the International Women's Day annual event, and mentees are invited to participate in the full program followed by mentoring session. Mentees have the opportunity to win an additional hour of mentoring by an IWF Georgia member at a future scheduled time.

Objectives:

2)    To provide an opportunity for IWF members to share their insight and advice with mentees to impact their professional decisions and life.

Testimonials:

“Conferences like the IWF event are important because often we do not have access to influential role models in our lives. It is amazing to have the opportunity to meet and learn from people who look like us and break barriers for us” — Taylor McNeil (Georgia State University, B.S. Computer Science student)

“We are constantly imagining our roles and shaping our social values through role models and social environment. IWF provides the resources, successful women leaders as role models, and a nurturing environment through the 2020 IWF Mentor-mentee Event. The forum deepened our social awareness and inspired more young professionals to be involved in the mission of protecting the rights and benefits of disadvantaged and minority groups.” — Fengjiao Cheryl Lin (Georgia State University, B.B.A. Managerial Science student)
