A letter from our Co-Founders

​

Our founding team is united by our belief that mentorship, network, and community all play instrumental roles in our success. From the early start of our careers, we were both fortunate enough to receive support and inspiration from both our mentors and peers. As we advanced in our careers, we experienced how much these relationships influenced our personal and professional growth. We sought ways on how to give back to younger generations, to maintain our existing relationships, and to forge new connections. But it became apparent to us that a formal platform to do so did not exist. 

 

When we launched our pilot year to gauge interest, we received an overwhelmingly positive response from both undergraduates and working professionals. This validated our belief that there is this unmet need for our organization that people would be supportive of and excited to be a part of. 

 

As we grow year after year, we are humbled by all the support but also inspired and proud to continue our mission to empower women in the professional world through mentorship and community.

 

​

With love,

 

Mitzi and Amy
