Introducing W2WM’s New Alumnae Advisory Council

Our program participants have such fire, unique ideas and experiences, and the drive to help other women, and we are proud to call them alumnae. And we love to see all they have accomplished over the years. As we say to our program participants, “once a part of the W2WM community, always part of the W2WM community.”

For our future participants, we want to ensure that our programs remain impactful and relevant, expand to meet new needs, and bring together all women in our community. To help us do just that, W2WM is launching its inaugural Alumnae Advisory Council. This group of mentee alum will help our board and staff review our programs, help to brainstorm new opportunities for learning and engagement and act as a voice for W2WM alumnae in various efforts.

Mentees, we can’t wait to form this group. If you are interested in joining us, apply to be an inaugural member!
