The Women Innovators and Trailblazers Mentor-Match program connects women with other professional women who can provide mentorship and sponsorship. The goal of Mentor-Match is to help women launch businesses and advance or switch careers—with the guidance of someone they can talk to.
Ann Burke, Vice President of the Economic Council of Western Massachusetts, Charlene Smolkowicz, commercial credit manager and Freedom Credit Union, and Hot Oven Cookies owner Sheila Coon have all participated in Mentor-Match. Burke, Smolkowicz, and Coon sat down with Carolee McGrath to share how the WIT Mentor-Match program helps women support other women.
