Date: Aug 14 - 8 am

Venue: Ritan Park

Price: Free

Capital M, Ellevate, AustCham, AmCham, and Viva bring together established and emerging women leaders in our community to connect, learn, mentor and share experiences. As they walk, they discuss their professional and personal challenges, successes, aspirations, and lessons learned.

Mentees will have the opportunity to select a mentor based on preferences and their availability. Mentor and mentee groups are typically 3-5 people. You will have the incredible opportunity to seek advice from seasoned professionals who will provide an open ear, honest feedback, and meaningful guidance. Mentoring is proven to be one of the most important components to a successful career. It creates an effective support system to help women overcome professional and personal challenges. Mentors come from a diverse variety of backgrounds including, international development, foreign affairs, law, finance and banking, business development, marketing, public relations, humanitarian and non-profit work, corporate social responsibility, academia, entrepreneurship, hospitality, healthcare, technology and media, sustainability, energy, international trade, and more. Mentees are emerging professionals from an equally diverse array of fields. Nearly two-third of women who have been mentored go on to become mentors themselves.
