This February, WISE Houston will launch the application process for our first, local WISE Within cycle. WISE Within is a six-month program that pairs entry and mid-level professional women to senior executives through facilitated group sessions, personal one-to-one mentoring and national online resources. The program is a natural extension of WISE’s mission and is designed to reflect the essence of WISE – to offer guidance and career support for the growth of professional women moving into leadership and executive positions in the business of sports and events. If you are interested in being a WISE Within Mentor or Mentee, please keep an eye out for email communication about the program launch.
