Thursday, October 24 at 2:00 p.m. EDT

Presented by the Fiber Broadband Association Women in Fiber Group, this webinar will explore what it means to have a sponsor in your career, or be a sponsor and how that experience differs from mentorship.

Sponsors can be the key to advancement, provide you with greater visibility, and give you greater opportunities to excel. We are honored to be led in our discussion by two long-time industry leaders and experts in the telecom and technology space. Our panel will share how sponsorship played a key role in their own careers and will suggest ways for you to develop sponsors and become a sponsor yourself.
