We worked with Ida to develop and implement our Women's Mentoring Group program. Ida provided us with invaluable insights and suggestions and delivered a very effective training to all participants. As we ran into challenges with our program along the way, Ida helped us think through different options and gave much-appreciated advice and inspiration. The program has been very effective in meeting our goals and is a great source of support for our women attorneys. We have Ida to thank for much of its success!
