The Link Member Highlight!



Sacha Basho
The Link Ambassador Board President
 

What is your business or what leadership roles do you hold?
Integra provides connectivity to businesses in our region including voice, data and application solutions.  My current leadership roles include Director of Sales – Government,  Go Red For Women Luncheon – Corporate Sponsorship Chair and The Link for Women Ambassador Board Chair.

What do you personally get from The Link events and community?
The Link provides connection to women business leaders in the community.  Through that connection, I find inspiration, mentorship and support.  It also allows me to give back to other young women looking to expand their support community.

What aspects of The Link have you engaged in and how have they been a benefit to you?
As a member of The Link For Women, I attend the speaker series events and member events where I am constantly inspired by the stories in the room.  The intimate setting that is provided allows for true connection with women of all walks of life and experiences.  We share the desire to commune with current and future women business leaders, as well as, stretch ourselves personally and/or professionally. 

In addition, I am a graduate of A Seat At The Table- Using It.  This program gave me insight into “why” I make the choices I do, “what” I really want from my career and life and “how” that plays out in my work place.  With this program, I received the peer and mentor support that enabled me to make the hard “asks” for myself and others in the organization.  Our organization is stronger for it and the women involved are using their voices and influence.  Bottom line, it was a life changing program and will continue to impact my personal and professional journey!  Thank you, Cindy! 

What separates The Link from other groups you belong to? 
The link is unique because it attracts women from all walks of life who have a common interest in expanding their experiences and connecting with the female leadership community.  Many of the members are in varied stages of their careers but are interested in what they can learn from each other.  The focus is not a business exchange but a knowledge exchange.  Simply put, there is no other community like The Link For Women.
