Following a successful pilot on the West Coast in 2024, the ElevateHER Mentorship Program has officially launched in the Washington, DC market. Created by our International Network of Women (INOW) Community Resource Group (CRG), the program kicked off with an inspiring start, setting the stage for meaningful connections and growth.
More than just a mentorship program, ElevateHER DC is a movement, one that champions the growth, advancement, and empowerment of women in consulting. The program’s mission is clear: to build a supportive community in the local DC market, championing and empowering women through mentorship. By connecting women at all stages of their careers with experienced mentors, the program fosters a dynamic and supportive environment where personal and professional development go hand in hand.
The program has received enthusiastic backing from firm leadership, including President & COO Amy Bjarnason and Business Transformation Partner Anjali Khullar, who are both serving as mentors. Their active involvement underscores our firm’s ongoing commitment to fostering a culture of belonging, support, and advancement for women at all levels.
As ElevateHER DC continues to grow, it is already making a meaningful impact, sparking important conversations, forging lasting connections, and amplifying the voices of women throughout the firm. By offering mentorship, advocacy, and guidance from accomplished leaders, the program is bridging the gap between aspiration and achievement, helping women realize their full potential.
We are excited to see how ElevateHER DC will continue to shape the experience of women in our firm, empowering them to lead with confidence, courage, and community, in DC and beyond.
“The ElevateHER DC Local Pilot Kick-Off Social brought together women from every corner of CrossCountry for an evening that was heartfelt, honest, and fun! From powerful conversation with our guest speaker to a group game that had us reading the slides like spoken word poets, the energy in the room felt real and connected. A personal letter from one of our members left the room silent and deeply moved. That night showed exactly what is possible when women come together with intention. This program has a power to grow into something truly meaningful, one conversation at a time.” – Iryna Gilbert, Experienced Manager, Business Transformation
