WILD Mentorship Program Applications to Open to all WILD Members – August 14th!

Posted on by Women in Lighting + Design

Applications for the peer-to-peer WILD Mentorship Program, open to all WILD members, will open August 14th!! 

The goal of the program is to connect women at all stages of their lighting careers through peer-to-peer style mentorship, with participants taking on the role of both mentor and mentee. If you are interested in participating at a more involved level, there will be a portion of the application open to share your interest in becoming a group liaison. The group liaison will be guiding the small group through finding a meeting time, asking questions to get the ball rolling and remaining the connection point between the Mentorship Committee and the small group. 

We are so excited for the formal launch of the program at the Annual Membership Meeting! Stay tuned for application release on August 14th. Contact wildmentorshipprogram@gmail.com with your questions.

As part of our new student outreach initiative, WILD Board member Haley Laurence worked with Portland member Julia Redfern and San Francisco members Leslie Siegel, Maryanne Berger, and educator Margo Majewska to organize a tour of the Lucifer Lighting showroom for students from California College of the Arts. The students were able to engage with industry professionals while learning about lighting fundamentals in a fun and interactive environment. This was a wonderful opportunity to utilize the connections within our network to inspire the next generation of lighting designers!
