Objectives
HKABPW's Mentoring Programme leverages on
the expertise of its members, primarily
corporate employeees. Professionals are
dedicated to sharing their skills, knowledge,
wisdom and insights in helping each other
succeed. Equally enthusiastic are the proteges
who are committed to learn from those with
greater experience. Through a series of
public relations activities, HKABPW has
raised its profile in the corporate/business
sectors.
Description
The Mentoring Programme consists of workshops
and monthly chat and shares. The Programme
has particularly attracted young women to
the Association. The launch of the Programme
in early 2004 aligns with the international
theme - "Empowering Women though Creative
Partnerships". The HKABPW Mentoring
Programme also has four corporate sponsors
in the first year of its inception. BPW
members are matched up by the Chair of the
program as "mentor" and "protege"
for one year.
Expected
results
In the first year, there were 30 mentors
and protégés and the corporate
sponsors were B&W Far East Publicity
Ltd., Right Management Consultants, Seashell
Publishers (Australia) and ExxonMobil. The
programme has attracted new and younger
members to HKABPW which is one of the goals
- to increase membership. For more information,

Today, the programme has between 15-20 participants
primarily between the ages of 30-60+.
