Pay It Forward

About Us

-

The design of the 'Pay it Forward' program is to transfer wisdom from those who have earned significant professional success to those who are just starting out or are in the early years of their careers. Speakers are carefully selected from a network of volunteers and all sessions are hosted at no cost. Topics are chosen based on the current work challenges we all face. Over a dozen sessions have already been shared with more than 1,000 virtual attendees.

Why

We believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. By sharing our knowledge, experiences and resources, we aim to create a ripple effect of positive change. Our purpose is to empower women with the skills and confidence they need to succeed, ensuring that they are not only prepared for the job market but also inspired to continue the cycle of support and mentorship for others.

Mission

Pay It Forward was conceived by Wendy Beckemeyer as she reflected on the triumphs and struggles of her own career. She wanted to offer a way to give back to the community that had given so much to her. Wendy invited colleagues that she admired and had close personal relationships with to join her in this endeavor and Pay It Forward was born.
