WWLF offers free trade show trip to fellowship, scholarship recipients

The Women’s Wireless Leadership Forum is now giving its fellowship and scholarship recipients and their mentors an all expenses paid trip to the annual PCIA trade show.

“The opportunities, exposure, support and connections that our recipients will gain from this experience will be extremely beneficial as they continue to build their wireless careers,” said Lauren Go, WWLF’s program director. “I wish I had this opportunity when I started in wireless.”

The new benefit is effective immediately, so 2012 WWLF fellowship recipient Abigail Miller of Qualcomm and her mentor, Victoria Forbes of Cricket Communications, will be attending PCIA’s Wireless Infrastructure Show, being held October 1-4 in Orlando, Fla.

“WWLF’s mission is to mentor women and provide them with resources for growth and career development,” said Nicole Andrepont, VP of WWLF. “This program is a huge part of fulfilling that mission.”

The fellowship and scholarship program connects recipients with mentors in the industry and provides them with networking resources and benefits such as free admission to regional events and webinars as well as a one year WWLF membership.
