WLI Mentorship Program
The 2024 WLI Mentoring Program is now accepting applications – for both Mentees and Mentors.
APPLICATIONS: The deadline for 2024 applications closes on December 20, 2023.
Applications received after December 20 will be archived and considered for the following year.
The 2024 WLI Mentorship Program will kick off with a Mixer on January 17th at the Supply Chain Hall of Fame in Rogers from 4:00-6:00 PM.
PROGRAM INFORMATION:
The WLI Mentoring Program is designed to connect women who are ULI members with established professionals and provide the opportunity to get to know future women leaders in the industry. The program creates opportunities for both participants – mentees and mentors – to grow by sharing their knowledge and experiences in an atmosphere of confidentiality, trust, and respect.
This is a great opportunity to learn from your peers and leaders in the industry and enhance your professional and personal network. ULI staff and committee members will pair applicants with mentors that best fit the information and description provided in applications/profiles, however, not every applicant is guaranteed to be paired with a mentor.
Mentors and mentees commit to meeting together at least one time per month at their convenience for the duration of the program and to attending the planned Mentorship Mixers. The program provides a year-long opportunity to share and discuss issues facing real estate professionals in a one-to-one format.
