Who has helped you get to where you are today or is an inspiration in your life? Is it your co-worker who encouraged you to go for the promotion, the manager who coached you through a big project, your dad who has always believed in you, or your daughter who has grown into a role model for others? We want to know.
Honor a Champion for women in business with a $25 gift to Forté Foundation. Forté Champions are people who drive you to form clear goals and stand behind you as you achieve them. Tell us how your champion inspired you and pay it forward. We'll share that message with your champion in a personalized letter and honor her or him on our website and social media channels.
By honoring a champion, you'll help other women like you discover the rewards of a business career, pursue their dreams of an MBA, and gain access to influential women business leaders and role models.
HONOR A CHAMPION"We honor Nikita Mitchell as a Forté Champion for her role in encouraging more women to pursue MBAs. Her work as an MBA student at UC Berkeley to increase female enrollment embodies Forté's mission."
Champion: Nikita Mitchell
Honored by: Forté Foundation
Why: Nikita, a University of California Berkeley-Haas MBA graduate, recently received the Forté 2015 Edie Hunt Award for her exceptional contributions to women in business. At UC-Berkeley, she helped to establish the "40 x 20 program" to reach 40% female MBA enrollment at Haas by 2020, yet the efforts that followed achieved a historic 43% female enrollment in the MBA Class of 2016. We honor her as a Forté Champion for encouraging more women to get an MBA.
