It begins and ends with great mentors, and the WISE SF Bay Area roster of mentors delivered at our Speed Mentoring Roundtables, our first event of 2025! We extend a BIG THANK YOU to the amazing women as well as the members and non-members who came to network, ask questions, listen and learn. 

Special thanks to @meliora - https://experiencemeliora.com/ for supporting WISE SF Bay Area Speed Mentoring. Additional thanks to Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling for jumping in and providing refreshments for our mentors and attendees. And final thank you to the staff at Nixon Peabody for welcoming us into their space.
