“Mentoring has given me a front
row seat to learn from other
exceptional women. In my
mentoring relationship I found
two women to encourage,
challenge and strengthen me
to become all I was meant to be.
I will pay forward what I
have learned.”
–Mary H. Sylvester, PhD,
senior consultant, logical design
solutions, Boehringer Ingelheim
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
“It was eye-opening to see that people
were having similar challenges
at work and it was great to work
through them as a group. I still
keep in contact with my
mentors today and bounce
questions off them.”

me for the personal rewards I received by
working with my co-mentor and the four
talented women we mentored.This offers
testimony to the caliber of individual the
HBA attracts and the quality of the HBA
Metro group mentoring program.”
–Bernie Coccia, president,

“This program has provided me with
such a fulfilling experience helping
individuals to define and refine the
change they are looking for in their
careers, and identifying ways to achieve
this. It also has allowed me access to a
network of wonderful individuals–really
good connections with, in some cases,
totally different perspectives
from which I learned.”
