WOMEN WHO ROAR INITIATIVE

SRQ MEDIA formed the Women Who Roar Initiative as a year-long program engaging the participants in the annual Women Who Roar Competition to create highly-dynamic personal networking that catalyzes community leadership through the science and art of mentorship. SRQ MEDIA hosts the annual Hear Me Roar Awards and Leadership Luncheon recognizing the past years’ Women Who Roar Circle Class and announcing the finalists and winners of the current year's competition comprising the new inductees to the Leadership Circle. The honorees are recognized by name in the "She Roars" edition of SRQ | The Magazine in October. The Women Who Roar Awards Special Section is published in the February following February edition of SRQ Magazine. The Women Who Roar Initiative also powers the SMARTGirl Mentorship Summit for middle school girls and SkillSHARE, a year-round professional peer-to-peer mentorship program.
