PROGRAM INFORMATION
WISE Within is a program connecting a group of selected mentors and mentees from the WISE membership in a structured initiative to provide career resource connections. The program is a natural extension of WISE’s mission and is designed to reflect the essence of WISE — to offer guidance and career support for the growth of women moving into executive positions in the sports and events industry.
If you are one of those trailblazers who’s been there and seen it in our industry, we welcome your participation as a mentor. If you are at a crossroads in your career and ready to move to that next level, look at expanding your resource base as a mentee.
Following the successful run of the New York WISE Within program, we are expanding to Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington D.C.
Attendees participated in a one-on-one session with their mentor/mentee and an interactive group networking session. Special thanks to The Intercontinental Hotel and Women at the Top of Their Game for providing the venue for the kick-off event.
Here are the WISE SF Mentee/Mentor Match-ups:
Ilisa Kessler with Mentor Paulette Goodrich
Mary Rudkin with Mentor Beth Schnitzer
Lindsey Schedeler with Mentor Carol Batte
Tina Unterlaender with Mentor Sharon Shapiro
