Top Global Women Creative Leaders Provide Mentorship at Elevate Virtual Event

The One Club for Creativity announces its second annual Elevate: Mentorship for Modern Leaders virtual program, where more than a dozen of the industry’s top global women creatives will provide small-group mentorship and networking for mid-level women and non-binary creatives stepping into leadership roles.

Taking place virtually for two hours on three consecutive Fridays - March 25, April 1 and April 8, 2022 - Elevate includes presentations by top women creative leaders and Q&A, followed by small breakout mentorship groups led by senior creative mentors.  A networking directory will enable participants to arrange one-on-one conversation, and they also get access to video recordings of all sessions for later viewing.

As the industry’s foremost nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the creative industry, The One Club is offering Elevate scholarships to BIPOC women and non-binary professionals on a first-come basis.  Preference will go to attendees who did not receive a scholarship in 2021.

“This is a rare opportunity for mid-level women and non-binary creatives to gain invaluable career insights from many of the industry’s top global leaders in a small-group setting,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club.  “Sessions are a deep dive into important issues that will enhance the leadership skills of participants and help them advance their careers.”
