WILMA Leadership Initiative Updates
The latest on WILMA’s spring leadership programs
Recap: The latest on the WILMA Leadership Initiative and its mission to empower women to lead with confidence and purpose
ANNIVERSARY UPDATE: In case you missed it, we started the new year with a new look and new name for WILMA’s leadership programs. A decade since its launch, WILMA’s Women to Watch initiative is now WILMA Leadership, with our eyes looking ahead to continue to help area women meet their goals.
LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE: The 2024 Leadership Institute graduated in December (class members shown above). The class went through leadership skills training, peer advisory discussions, and connections with area executives. Over a hundred applications were submitted to participate in this year’s class, and those who were selected will begin meeting in April. Stayed tuned for an announcement soon about this year’s group.
MENTORING: This year’s group of WILMA mentors and mentees have been meeting one-on-one each month to work on the women’s professional goals.
