Women Creative Leaders Provide Mentorship At The One Club’s ‘Elevate’ Virtual Program
The One Club for Creativity has announced its second annual Elevate: Mentorship for Modern Leaders virtual program, where more than a dozen of the industry’s top global women creatives will provide small-group mentorship and networking for mid-level women and non-binary creatives stepping into leadership roles.
Taking place virtually for two hours on three consecutive Fridays — March 25, April 1 and April 8, 2022 — Elevate includes presentations by top women creative leaders and Q&A, followed by small breakout mentorship groups led by senior creative mentors. A networking directory will enable participants to arrange one-on-one conversation, and they also get access to video recordings of all sessions for later viewing.

Due to the small-group nature of the program, space is limited. The One Club members have exclusive advance opportunity to sign up on February 15, 2022, with general registration open to non-members starting on February 16, 2022. Registration price for all three sessions is $160 for members, $199 for non-members.
As the industry’s foremost nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the creative industry, The One Club is offering Elevate scholarships to BIPOC women and non-binary professionals on a first-come basis. Preference will go to attendees who did not receive a scholarship in 2021.
Says Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club: “This is a rare opportunity for mid-level women and non-binary creatives to gain invaluable career insights from many of the industry’s top global leaders in a small-group setting. Sessions are a deep dive into important issues that will enhance the leadership skills of participants and help them advance their careers.”
