Everyday Engagement
Some of the most impactful networking happens organically through a shared challenge, a quick tip, or a story that resonates. Members connect daily through discussions, questions, and shared resources on WIT’s Engage forum. These conversations often lead to meaningful relationships and ongoing support. Engage makes it easy to:
- Ask industry-related questions
- Share lessons learned
- Connect with peers across roles and regions
- Learn from other's experiences
Every comment or reply is an opportunity to learn — and to be a mentor to someone else. Get started on WIT Engage
Not Sure How to Start?
At WIT, mentorship isn’t a one-way street — it’s a community effort. Every member brings value, experience, and insight to the table. When we connect, we grow stronger together. This month, we encourage you to take one simple step: Attend the Connections Mixer on March 5th at 12:00 p.m. ET.
This virtual event brings members together in a relaxed setting to spark conversations, exchange insights, and explore mentoring relationships — without pressure or long-term commitments.
The Connections Mixer is ideal for:
- Members curious about mentoring but unsure where to start
- Professionals seeking fresh perspectives and peer learning
- Experienced leaders who want to support and connect with others
