Women in Lodging mentor summer session kicked off July 7

The Women in Lodging mentor program is a popular and productive activity for WIL members. Two sessions are offered annually, one in July and one in January. The summer session began yesterday for a duration of 12 weeks and has 30 participants.
The mission of the WIL Mentor Program is to provide members with the opportunity to meet industry professionals who want to share their experience, knowledge and guidance.

Mentees consist of individuals either experienced or brand new to the industry interested in exploring career growth and opportunities. The WIL mentor program pairs mentors and mentees together according to areas of interest and experience.
The next WIL mentor session will begin in January, 2017.
