Ernst & Young Women Athletes Business Network Mentoring Program
EY & International Women's Forum
Elite women athletes bring a critical foundation of leadership to any endeavor that can’t be taught in the classroom. To harness this potential, the WABN Mentoring Program is designed to provide the necessary support and guidance elite athletes require as they transition from sport to new career paths or advance further into their post-sport profession. Each year, we pair up to 25 elite women athletes with IWF leaders and mentors for a high-touch mentoring and training experience.

To harness this potential, the WABN Mentoring Program is designed to provide the necessary support and guidance elite athletes require as they transition from sport to new career paths or advance further into their post-sport profession. Each year, we pair up to 25 elite women athletes with IWF leaders and mentors for a high-touch mentoring and training experience.
Now in its fourth year, 96 percent of WABN mentees report their relationship with an IWF mentor and access to EY WABN resources has benefited them.
The 2018 Mentee Class includes 25 participants, representing 17 sports and 8 nations. These young women are exemplary–they are world record holders, Olympians, medal winners, doctors, business women, and so much more. Each of them have ambition and passion and are looking for guidance in becoming stronger leaders. -
