Designed to advance gender parity across the field, the Mentorship Program for Women Administrators supports the professional development of women administrators at OPERA America member organizations.

Three administrative professionals (protégés) will be paired with established leaders in their areas of interest for a yearlong program to identify barriers and achievement gaps, and then establish and execute an action plan for professional growth.

The program was conceived through the continued work and efforts of the Women's Opera Network.
