We recently held our eleventh annual Women Opening Doors for Women mentoring event, which paired established executives with aspiring leaders. This year’s event was held at the law firm of Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP. The event sold out and more than 135 women were in attendance.

Over 30 mentors attended, including event chairs Gale Murray, Jesse Mermell, Gloria Larson and Donna Cupelo. The emerging leaders represented over 50 different companies in the Commonwealth. To kick off the mentoring, Beth Monaghan, CEO and Founder of InkHouse, inspired the group with a brief keynote address based off of her TED talk, “Leave the Ladder Down.”

MWF was honored to sponsor Dr. Nawal Nour during last year’s IWF Leadership Foundation Fellowship Program. As the Founder and Director of the African Women’s Health Center and Global Obstetrics and Gynecology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Nawal established a career in promoting women’s health in underserved populations both nationally and internationally. We are proud that IWF featured her in the “In the Lead” blog in honor of Women’s History Month.
