What is an AWIS Group Mentoring Program?
A Mentoring Group is a party of 3-5 women scientists committed to meeting monthly to support one another with advice, encouragement and information. Each group will be coordinated and fostered by at least one experienced mentor and one connector.

Who will be in my group?
The Seattle AWIS mentoring committee will review submitted surveys and match you with a group based on interest, career goals, geography and other factors.

What will we talk about? Are we just going to sit around and complain?
The mentoring group is an approach for sharing frustrations with peers but the focus is on career growth and problem solving in a supportive and fun environment. Seattle AWIS will provide you with a source of ideas and articles to help start conversation. All participants should be willing to give and get professional and personal support from other talented women in the scientific community. Mentors will help guide and promote productive discussions in the group.

How do I join the Seattle AWIS Group Mentoring Program?
