The KPMG Future Leaders Program is a charitable initiative focused on developing future generations of women leaders. Funded by proceeds from the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and KPMG Women’s Leadership Summit, the KPMG Future Leaders Program annually awards twenty-two top female high school seniors the opportunity to enhance their personal growth through college scholarships, a leadership development retreat, mentorship, and an introduction to golf.

We will continue to assess the situation and will consider a virtual model if necessary.
·     A pairing with a mentor for one year; the mentor being a female executive that attended the KPMG Women’s Leadership Summit. Â
