Meet and network with our region’s most influential women leaders at the 10th Annual Mentoring Monday event. Join this uplifting community of women empowering other women in programs held in 40 cities across the country from Albany to Honolulu. The event will kick-off with a video keynote from Clara Shih, founder of Hearsay Systems, CEO of Salesforce Service Cloud, and Author of The Facebook Era, followed by rounds of speed coaching.

Mentoring Monday is designed to be a catalyst for meaningful introductions and engaging conversations with businesswomen representing a variety of industries from all over our region.

The event will offer the opportunity to choose from over 30 mentors who are the most influential women in the business community for one-on-one coaching sessions.
