The Woodshed Network Residency Program is graced with the incredible talent, insight, dedication and support of our mentors. Each an expert in their field, they share the wealth of their knowledge with mentees and often each other. It is a unique privilege, responsibility, and joy to "pay forward" that which we have learned to help prepare the next generation. Our gratitude is overwhelming. Thank you to each one for making the program a success, putting their trust in us, and sharing our mission.
