FEMTOR – The Mentorship Club
FEMTOR- The Mentorship Club is a volunteer-led initiative that supports women members in developing skills to grow through different career stages and realize full potential.
The club aspires to build a community to:
- Foster practical discussions on professional and personal matter
- Network with industry role models, develop the snowball effect and grow one’s sphere of influence
- Find a way for women members to stay in profession, not just to survive but to thrive
- Promote “Career-Self Reliance”
The club is open to all CFA Society India women members and is designed to pair mentors and mentees to work together and achieve specific goals. Our endeavor is to create mentor-mentee relationships between early to mid women charterholders and senior charterholders whereby the latter can share invaluable and unbiased career-advancing advice to the younger cohort.
