Premier Management Development Series

Introducing the Premier Management Development Series

We’re excited to bring the Premier Management Development Series (PMDS) to our chapter for the first time in 2026! After years of success within the The WICT Network Rocky Mountain and Midwest chapters, PMDS is now expanding – and we’re proud to offer this well-established leadership experience to our community.

Partnering with the Texas talent of Natalie Mendez of Mendez Coaching and Sheryl Chacko of Innovative Engagement, this program brings members from all three chapters into a blended learning experience. Participants learn from the material – and from each other – building connections with peers, coaches and industry leaders who support their growth well beyond the program.

Past participants shared:

“I’m so grateful for the way the program wove structure seamlessly through vulnerability and real human connection.”

“I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that this program has changed my course forever – and for the better. Before, I felt like I was walking through fog, now I’m walking with clarity.”
