“Mentorship permeates everything we do at #GALSNGEAR.” – Founder Amy DeLouise

1. Mentoring Through Industry Panels

We intentionally pair more experienced speakers with those experts who may have never been tapped for a public appearance. We ensure they are coached and feel good about building their brand as a leader.

2. Mentoring in Beta-Testing Groups

In a constantly innovating industry, beta-testing new tools is essential to upskilling and advancement. #GALSNGEAR curates small groups of beta-testers for industry vendors. We have tested hardware and software–from cameras to cloud broadcasting features. These groups become places where women develop relationships with industry innovators, as well as with other women who are working in their technical fields.

3. Mentoring at Leadership Retreats

We convene small-group workshop intensives where longtime industry leaders connect with early to mid-career women. The result is that attendees build peer relationships, and find accountability partners.

4. Mentoring Through Student and Young Leader Programs

We host college seniors at our leadership trainings and provide scholarships to industry conferences.  We involve them in small teams of members, interviewing women in a wide range of careers. Through programs and partnerships, we connect the future leaders of the industry to more experienced women in media, technology, broadcast and entertainment careers.

5. Mentoring at Networking Events

We invite attendees with intentionality, across industry sectors and experience levels, and work to ensure that newcomers feel welcomed.

I made so many connections! I want to thank you for welcoming us into a space that still has a diversity problem. I feel more confident that women like you will continue to pave the way for future generations, starting with us!  – Student Participant
