The MAPS (Mentors, Advisors, Peers, and Sponsorship) Program provides longitudinal mentorship for Women In Bio members in informal small-group settings. Peer groups are hosted by group leaders to facilitate topic discussions relevant to the group's development goals and meet monthly (in-person, hybrid, or virtually) from April through September.

Please join us for our first meeting of the 2024 WIB-Southern California MAPS cohorts. Our La Jolla cohort will host an in-person launch party, and our Pasadena and Irvine cohorts will host a virtual presentation.

• The Pasadena cohort will meet virtually (details will be in your registration confirmation email).

Please attend the location where you'd like to be placed in a peer group. Already registered MAPS participants, as well as those interested in participating in this year’s program, are welcome to attend.
