The VWEA | VA AWWA Utility Management Committee is excited to launch the 2023 Mentorship Program!
The intent of this program is to bring a W/WW industry mentor and mentee together (who may not have otherwise met) for mutually beneficial and meaningful conversations regarding various career and professional topics. Mentorship is an invaluable opportunity to learn from one another, providing a path to knowledge transfer. Mentors can share experiential wisdom and offer career guidance. Mentees can share innovative ideas and fresh perspectives on long-standing industry concerns.
This program covers 6 weeks of conversation prompts. The program schedule can be found by clicking Read More below.
Complete the short, 6-question SURVEY if you’d like to participate. If you have questions, please email Matt Wisniewski (mwisniewski@greeley-hansen.com).
Join us in creating a mentoring ripple effect across the industry!
