Indianapolis-Based Mentoring Women’s Network Holds National Launch Event for Pass the Torch for Women Campaign
Indianapolis: Women supporting women professionally through mentoring programs has been found to promote career growth not only for the mentee, but for the mentor as well. Committed to facilitating these beneficial relationships, Indianapolis-based Mentoring Women’s Network has taken on the challenge to create the world’s largest and most effective women’s mentoring program. In an effort to make mentoring services available to any woman who wants them, the Foundation will officially launch an awareness and fundraising campaign, Pass the Torch for Women, at a luncheon on August 14, 2014 at the Ivy Tech Corporate College & Culinary Center.
