The Fortune/U.S. State Department Global Women’s Mentoring Partnership, a public-private partnership between the U.S. Department of State and Fortune Most Powerful Women, provides women with the skills and experience to become leaders in their businesses, communities and countries.This international exchange program pairs senior women executives in the United States with emerging leaders from around the world to advance the status of women in business. Vital Voices Global Partnership has worked with the State Department and Fortune to implement this exchange program since 2006.
With the goal of providing the international women with the skills and experience to support growth and prosperity in their countries, the program begins in Washington, D.C., where they meet with senior women in government, business, and the non-profit sector. Their two-week professional mentorships in cities across the United States give them the opportunity to observe best practices, develop management skills, and cultivate a valuable network of global professionals. The program also features media training and leadership seminars with senior women executives in New York City.
