Blue Star Mentoring Partnership - connecting talented, daughters, spouses, caregivers and survivors of military service members and veterans as well as… Show more female service members and veterans with members of the Government’s most powerful women leaders.
So what is speed mentoring? Participants - which are called Protégés - meet executive women in government. Take this opportunity to discuss career paths or how to make the most of your career search. These mentors can also offer advice on how you can best navigate the world of government opportunities. Protégés will meet each mentor for a short amount of time so get your elevator speech ready!
Who can participate? Daughters, spouses, caregivers of military service members and veterans as wells as female service members and veterans, age 13-29, are eligible to participate in the program. The program is limited to 60 Protégés, selected from all applications.
Who will the mentors be? Our Speed Mentors will be comprised of members of the Executive Women in Government whose membership includes members of the Senior Executive Service, Senior Level positions, GS-15 and above positions or equivalent ranks, and Presidential appointees, including those serving on Boards and Commissions.
How will it work? A brief overview of the Speed Mentoring process will be given by the Co-Chair of our Mentoring Partnership, Katherine Coffman. Included are keynote presentations from two leading executive women in government. After the overview and keynotes, we will split into groups and start the Speed Mentoring Rounds. Each Protégé will meet with Speed Mentors for 10 minutes - where proteges will meet mentors and discuss professional desires, strengths and challenges.
- Bring your elevator pitch and three questions for our mentors

At the end of Speed Mentoring, the group will get back together to discuss their impressions of the event, and give us feedback.
