Effective Impact Mentoring Program
Executive Alliance believes in women’s leadership. Our Effective Impact Mentoring Program is a transformational, year-long experience that provides individual guidance and professional skills to help mid-level women achieve their career goals. Since its launch in 1997, over 200 women have benefited from the program.
The highly-acclaimed, competitive, year-long program teams structured half-day workshops with individualized mentoring focusing on the mentee. Our small class size (just 8-12 mid-level management women) means that no one gets lost in the crowd. The cross-industry cohort encourages learning from all sources.
Apply to the program. Deadline is May 1.
The women meet one-on-one with their Executive Alliance mentor throughout the year, to discuss issues related to growth in job skills, negotiating the management hierarchy, and gaining greater influence on the job and in the community. Six structured professional development sessions on such topics as communication skills, financials in decision-making, management skills, executive and leadership skills, and work/life integration. The sessions are interactive and feature subject matter experts from Executive Alliance’s own membership as well as leading experts from outside organizations.
Throughout the year, mentees are invited to participate in Executive Alliance events and connect with members and program alumnae.
Executive Alliance is proud to engage mentees from a cross-section of small and large organizations throughout the State of Maryland and Washington, D.C., area.
