Meet Our Spring ‘23 WMNtech Leaders!

1871 Announces its Spring ’23 WMNtech Leaders Cohort

Our WMNtech Leaders program kicked off in February 2023, and we are honored to announce the 31 women professionals participating in this innovative cohort! 

This 4-month accelerator and mentoring initiative is designed to cultivate the next generation of early-tenure women leaders by accelerating and developing their professional skills through curated programming. This is the 5th WMNtech Leaders cohort. 

Ethos, a culture consulting meets diversity, equity, inclusion firm, co-developed this program in 2019, and have continued to partner on delivery.

About the cohort

Participants in this cohort are high potential, early-tenured women professionals who exhibit exceptional promise in their current leading market-facing or technical roles. Participants  have an average range of 3-10 years of personal experience in their field. 

The cohort meets virtually between 2.24.23 – 6.14.23 for programming, workshops, and 1:1 mentoring. 

Cohort members are paired with a volunteer “Super Mentor”, meeting several times throughout the program to discuss leadership, personal, and professional development skills. We are so grateful for our mentors who have volunteered to support this program with their dedicated time, experience, and expertise.  

While WMNtech Leaders is one cohort, its peer-driven forums and group coaching sessions are split into two groups — market-facing and technical — to  equip each group with the necessary tools and resources to amplify their development, and meet their primary takeaways of the program.
