Carter Club Members Get Private Mentoring. As pressure mounts on companies to recover from the recent economic downturn, law departments have increased their focus on helping top-level decision-makers avoid risk. At the same time, managers also find themselves having to increase and convey the value their team adds to the company in order to dodge cutbacks and layoffs. Carter Club sessions leverage what can be learned from the real-world experiences of other members and law department management experts. You get access to private mentoring in a small and confidential venue.
Carter Club Members Gain Experience the Competition Can’t Get. Programs don’t develop leaders. Experience does. Carter Club gatherings provide you with experiences of leading. You can immediately put what you learn to use. Gatherings are more than one-off programs presenting theoretical concepts. All sessions employ action learning—meaning you get to apply the knowledge in on-the-spot simulations of actual incidents faced by women of color in organizations like yours.
