We are thrilled to be launching the second year of Connect, a networking program that allows OWIG members to forge meaningful one-on-one connections with each other throughout the year. This program creates member pairings to promote mentorship, learning, or the forging of new professional and personal relationships to supplement regular OWIG programming.

If you are interested in participating in Connect, please fill out the interest survey below by February 3, 2023. All responses will be kept confidential by the matching committee of Connect, which consists of OWIG Steering Committee members.
