    Academy Women – eMentor Leadership Program
    Academy Women believes that mentoring is a fundamental, irreplaceable factor in helping individuals develop exceptional skills, character and leadership capabilities. This perspective has led us to develop our eMentor Leadership Program, a cutting-edge mentoring program where mentees receive guidance, career counseling and support from more experienced active duty and veteran women leaders. The eMentor Leadership Program is being implemented through a state-of-the-art eMentor website which pairs mentees with mentors for one-on-one, email-based mentoring (eMentoring) relationships. The AcademyWomen eMentor Leadership Program is open to female officers with current or prior miltary service in all branches of service. AcademyWomen has also created the NavyWomen eMentor Leadership Program through a partnership with the Navy's Office of Women's Policy to support ALL uniformed women U.S. Naval personnel in achieving their full potential as leaders.
