Advancing your career in supply management requires more than strong performance. It also requires the right advocates, advisors, and champions along the way. Join the Women's Supply Management Community for an engaging fireside chat exploring the critical role of mentorship and sponsorship for women in supply chain, procurement, and supply management leadership.
In this interactive discussion, two accomplished industry leaders will share candid insights from their career journeys, including how mentors helped shape their professional development, how sponsors created opportunities for growth and visibility, and what women can do to build meaningful relationships that support long-term career success.
Through personal stories, practical advice, and real-world examples, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the differences between mentorship and sponsorship, learn how to identify and cultivate both types of relationships, and discover strategies for expanding their professional influence and leadership potential.
The session will conclude with a live Q&A, providing attendees with the opportunity to ask questions and gain actionable guidance from leaders who have successfully navigated the path to senior leadership.
