Women’s Network
Our Women’s Network makes it easy to build lasting relationships with each other. If you are a woman in the workplace, you know that it is essential to communicate with individuals having similar backgrounds, goals, and ideas. That’s precisely why we offer you our Women’s Network, with its many unique opportunities and advantages.
Networking
Networking opportunities are especially valuable for those working on teams where few women may be represented. It is a great opportunity for you to connect with each other as well as tap into intra-organizational and cross-organizational opportunities.
Mentoring
Whether you are providing the mentoring or receiving it as a 'protégé, there is nothing like meeting new employees, sharing your skills and experiences, and building lasting relationships on such a fulfilling level.
When you choose to be a mentor you will inspire professional growth and personal development in employees who are eager to learn from your business knowledge and career experiences.
As a protégé, you will receive valuable, real-world guidance and encouragement from someone you can identify with someone who has 'been there and done that.'
Our mentors and protégés alike say they feel a sense of personal accomplishment, renewed enthusiasm, and more connection to our larger SAIC community for being part of the Women's Network.
Community Outreach
As a member of the Women's Network, you will also have the opportunity to serve local communities involving projects selected by the membership of each local chapter.
Internal Programs for Professional and Personal Growth
Benefit from various corporate-sponsored onsite events and speakers. Topics range from developing leadership skills, negotiation skills and learning about SAIC career paths, to life enrichment subjects including personal finance, nutrition, yoga events, and beyond.
