Young Women's Council Speaker Event
Part III of the Young Women's Council "Women in Finance and an Introspective Look at Our Careers" Series:
Mentorship vs. Sponsorship
Date: Thursday, May 19th
Time: 7:00pm- 9:00pm
Location: Reed Smith, 599 Lexington Avenue, 22nd Floor 

Is mentoring enough?  What is sponsorship and why does it matter?  We invite you to join us for a presentation given by Catalyst, the leading nonprofit membership organization expanding opportunities for women and business to find out! 

The event will feature Catalyst Executive Staff Members Debbie Soon, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Marketing, and Serena Fong, Director of Government Affairs, Communications and Public Affairs.  They will discuss research on the differences between mentorship and sponsorship and the impact of sponsor relationships on their own career progression. 

The event is free and refreshments will be served. Please sign up by clicking here.
*DOOR PRIZES: Get two other friends to attend and you will be in the running for some fabulous door prizes! Just have your two friends sign up via the website link above and then email ywc@highwaterwomen.org telling us their names! All three of you must attend for you to win!
The discussion is a follow up to Part 1 (Book Discussion: "Brag! the Art of Tooting Your Own Horn without Blowing It" by Peggy Klaus) and Part II (Round Table Discussion on the Harvard Business School Case Study: "Why Men Still Get More Promotions than Women" and subsequent research "Mentoring: Necessary but Insufficient for Advancement").

The HWW Young Women's Council was created to bring together driven and passionate professional young women who hope to make a difference in their communities through service and philanthropy.
