with warm welcome by the US State Department, represented by the Assistant Secretary
of State Ann Stock and Ms. Beth Fine, Program Specialist, Sports United. The

on valuable topics such as: women in leadership, social media training, mentorship
value, network communication etc. Powerful women from leading US Organizations
as well as the U.S. Sports scene elite were in different ways sharing their
experiences.


Personal story:

As a passionate athlete in all mountain sports I was
connected with Burton Snowboards and Ms. Donna Carpenter as my Mentorship host. Entering their company in Burlington, Vermont
( yesterday 10 Sept 2012), I was amazed by
the professionalism and warmness I have seen in such a healthy environment. It
is a perfect match of success, passion and creativity what Burton has created
throughout the years. Success driven by the heart
beats and experince turned snowboarding into a
lifestyle.
I am pretty excited about the opportunity I will have, meeting professionals from all sectors of the company, giving Burton’s image as it
appears to all of the fans worldwide. Looking forward to see how this experience
will help me in creating a healthier action sports community, represented by
increasing number of strong women.
