"YWA Connect is hands-down one of the best program "YWA Connect is hands-down one of the best programs I've participated in while in Austin. Being surrounded by dynamic women and supported by my mentor inspires me to keep growing both professionally and personally."- 2023 YWA Connect ParticipantJust over a week ago, YWA kicked off the 2023 YWA Connect program with an event at KMFA Classical Mentors and mentees got to connect with one another through networking and listening to a panel on Mentorship and How it Affects the Austin Community. Panelists Ashley Alaniz Moyer, Gayle Reaume, and Patricia Hayes spoke on their experiences being both a mentor and a mentee and how it enhanced their careers and personal lives. Attendees also participated in a fun, networking activity named Candy'd Conversations where new groups of people got to meet and discuss their goals for the program.We are so excited about this year's program!Thank you to the panelists:Ashley Alaniz Moyer @ashleymoyerGayle Reaume@gaylereaumePatricia Hayes @pvalhay Thank you to the YWA Connect Committee for putting on this event!:Lillian Hartman - Sr. YWA Connect Chair @lilhart1319Avery Shackelford-Griffin - YWA Connect Co-Chair @averyshackelfordgriffinCasey Green - YWA Connect Co-Chair @caseygreen90Becca Roberts Shelast - YWA Connect Committee Member @becca.roberts33Natalia Litoldo - VP of Programs @natalia.litoldoThank you to the vendors for making this event possible:KMFA @kmfaclassicalFlavor Co. @flavoraustinKristen McKelvie @kristenmckelviephotographyEat, Cook, Joy @eatcookjoy#YWAConnect #YWAConnectWins #Mentorship #WomenInLeadership
