The Program will bring together groups of mentees and mentors into small teams that will meet virtually four times during the spring. Participants will commit to 5-6 hours over the course of four months from March to June. The program will also include an inclusive wrap-up event in June where all participants are welcomed to share thoughts, feedback, and ideas for future programs.

Eligibility for Mentees:

  • Women who have work experience and a desire to learn from their peers
  • Attendance at a mandatory prep session

Eligibility for Mentors:

  • Women and men with 20+ years of work experience

All women data professionals will be welcome to apply - no need to be a member of EDM WDP (of course, we encourage you to join us on the WDP Homepage!)

More to come in January 2026!

We look forward to having you join us,
