IMPACT PROGRAMS

OWL’s Fellows Program – Aimed at people in their early career stages, we
carefully match applicants to appropriate mentors.

OWL Leadership Summit – Ideal for folks in their mid-career, OWL’s new
leadership course aims to create skilled future leaders who will build and lead diverse teams.

Get-on-Board with OWL – Designed to increase diversity on Boards
and interrupt the current situation where a majority of board seats come from referrals from other board members. OWL’s new program will help prepare diverse candidates to position themselves for Board roles.

Contact Gaynor Fries for a specific proposal on our impact programs.

 

Major Event Sponsor

Need to boost your presence at ASCRS or AAO? The who’s who of Ophthalmology are present at OWL’s Signature Events: they are networking at the reception, sharing ideas on panels, and being recognized as award finalists.

To get this group together, your company would have to spend 20x the amount of the sponsorship investment. Major Event sponsors get to “be and be seen” and make meaningful connections. You can be a “co-host” without hosting responsibilities.
