Mentoring ProgramThe WICT Mentoring program is a great opportunity for both emerging and established professionals to assist in personal and professional development through a formalized mentoring relationship. In 2014, the program had 50 mentor and mentee matches. The mentors are carefully screened and matched with their protégé based on competencies and development needs. In addition to leadership training events and networking opportunities, each mentee creates an action plan for their developmental focus areas, to be addressed with their mentor’s support.
Speaker Series The WICT Speaker Series provides an opportunity for members to connect with fellow members over breakfast and hear from industry leaders on topics such as industry trends, technology, leadership, and professional development. Agendas are designed to be both educational and inspiring.
Regional EventsDeveloped to offer programming to our members who live and work in the region but outside the city.
Networking on Demand Every year in March, individual WICT Philadelphia members are encouraged to sign up to be matched with another WICT member for networking. A WICT Board Member facilitates the matches and acts as a point of contact. Matches meet at a time and place of their convenience. In 2014, 74 members participated and had the opportunity to strengthen and extend their existing networks. Members are matched 5 times throughout the year: April, June, August, October and December.
Sponsor Reception The Sponsor Reception gives the WICT Philadelphia Chapter and its supporters an opportunity to express gratitude and appreciation to the sponsor community.
