About the IWD PowerTalk Group Mentoring Program: 

IWD features a PowerTalk Mentoring Program with mentees including young career professionals, 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, and the session is moderated by Natosha Reid Rice. PowerTalk takes place during the International Women's Day annual event, and mentees are invited to participate in the full program prior to the mentoring session. 

Objectives:

1. To uplift and empower rising graduates and young professionals by meeting IWF mentors who are champions in their career.
