IAW is a much-needed organization in the immigrant community of Southern California. It has brought together a group of Iranian descendant’s successful ladies and provide a platform for networking. Networking allows them to support and empower each other. Younger generation women who are at earlier stage of life and education can benefit most of the networking. There are professional and successful ladies who can lead them through challenges that every woman can face with. As a volunteer for the past three years, I have had the pleasure of being coordinator of the mentorship program. This situation allows me to get to know young ladies who join the program as mentees and professionals who assist us as mentors. The experience was incredible. I have witnessed the changes and growth in all our mentees’ lives both personally and professionally. All I can say is I am extremely proud to be part of this organization and thrilled of what we have accomplished.
