"The ID2ID Program offers so much for both the experienced and the novice alike. The networking opportunities and the chance to share with and learn from others is like nothing else offered in any community. Being an ID2ID mentor has helped me not only expand my leadership skills, but also my professional experience. Being able to discuss new concepts and ideas brought into the group from others has helped me integrate those ideas into training and deliverables within my organization."
