FORTUNE/U.S. State Department Global Women's Mentoring Partnership
|
FORTUNE Most Powerful Women Summit and the U.S. State Department established the Global Women’s Mentoring Partnership in May 2006. This public-private partnership places talented, emerging women leaders from all over the world in mentoring programs with FORTUNE’s Most Powerful Women Leaders.
The three-phase program opens with an orientation session in Washington, D.C., where the participants meet with senior women in government, academia and business. The international participants are then paired with one of FORTUNE’s Most Powerful Women Leaders from companies like Time Inc., Avon, Wal-Mart, and Exxon Mobil in cities across the United States. For three weeks, American and international participants work together in mentoring relationships to share the skills and experiences necessary for strengthening women’s leadership. The program concludes in New York City, where the participants have meetings with Goldman Sachs and Solera Capital.
There are now 84 FORTUNE/State Department alumnae around the world. The 2009 FORTUNE program is slated to take place from April 27 – May 22, 2009. Thirty-two mentees, each nominated from the U.S. Embassy in their home country, are expected to participate.
