Elinor joined GAWL for a mentoring circle and has discovered numerous other opportunities through that circle. She has found business coaches that advised on compensation and self-advocacy. Further, in the safe and supportive community of GAWL, she was able to craft a maternity leave policy for her previous firm. The firm had never had a woman have a baby and come back to work. GAWL helped her develop a plan. Elinor values the meaningful conversations she has had with the women in GAWL. They have provided advice and resources beyond her career. There are experiences unique to women and Elinor feels strongly that we need to continue to provide opportunities for mentorship and connection.
