Following our planning session for the 2020-2021 chapter year, Raffaela Marie Fenn, along with  Dottie Fortwengler, Jenny Higginbotham Barrett, and Lillie Marie Rogers crafted a proposal for a Mentorship Initiative. Then, President, Shelley Hirsch, wholeheartedly supported this effort. 

      This strategic initiative provided the Eight Flags Charter Chapter members with a valuable benefit that no other local organization provided. It was believed that this benefit would serve as a strong incentive to increase membership. The team's plan was to start slowly and build on the experience over time.

     One of the goals was to create a measurable, two-track, high-impact mentoring Program for members that provided targeted education and resources to women who are currently trying to grow their careers  

in business or preparing to start/build a business. 

      For the  2021-2022 award year,  the Mentorship has become a standing Committee.
