Testimonial from the First Two Rising Leaders Classes
"The Rising Leaders Program was such a valuable experience and something that will have lasting benefits for my organization and for me. For me, having dedicated time and thought devoted to my leadership development is enriching, empowering and inspiring. For my organization, they have a motivated, connected and focused employee who is now armed with new skills and tools that she can't wait to use."
-Cara May, Director - MarketPlace, Interactive Ad Sales, Scripps Networks
"I loved this program! I encourage women to apply and companies to support it. I feel like I'm apart of a great community of women leaders who are experiencing the same challenges as me...what a wonderful support network!"
-Jennifer Leitman, Vice President - Brand Promotion, HGTV
"Rising Leaders truly changed my life. I was taught valuable skills and, more importantly, I discovered so much about myself. The women I have connected with will stay in my heart and my life forever. These bonds truly will last a lifetime. "
-Lauren Swearhart, Director - Project Management, Comcast
"Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the inaugural class! It was wonderful, and it was an experience that will stay with me. I learned a lot of myself and the industry, things that I'll keep with me."
-Jen Mowrer, Director of Marketing, New Media - Affiliate Marketing, Scripps Networks
"Months after the Rising Leader's program I can honestly say that I have applied much of what I took away from the sessions into making me a better leader, employee and individual. I value the opportunity that I had to be part of the first class of Rising Leaders and look forward to giving back to WICT in the future."
