NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Transit Wireless, a BAI Communications company, and leading 5G wireless infrastructure company, congratulates Anastasia Kats, Assistant Controller, on her acceptance to W.O.M.E.N. In America (WIA) Leadership Program's newest class of mentees.

Based in New York City, the highly selective 18-month leadership program is molding the next generation of professional women leaders by advancing their careers through unique mentorship, education, and networking opportunities. Founded in 2009 by a group of senior executives at Fortune's annual Most Powerful Women Summit, the organization aims to enable women to fulfill their maximum potential in the boardroom, the C-Suite, as entrepreneurs, and as leading edge professionals.

"We are proud of Anastasia for taking this step to further her career," says Jeff Garte, Chief Financial Officer at Transit Wireless. "Career development and diversity are priorities at Transit Wireless and core to our culture. We are pleased to support Anastasia in this program."

Kats is a certified public accountant who brings nearly 10 years of corporate accounting and financial reporting experience to Transit Wireless. She is a member of the New York State Society of CPAs (NYSSCPA) and volunteers for the IRS-sponsored Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which offers free professional tax preparation for low-income workers. 

"When I met the women in my cohort last week, I was in complete awe," says Kats, reflecting on her recent WIA orientation session. "I felt stunned and energized. It's exciting to gather with other women who have similar goals and aspirations, hand selected by leaders we admire to help each other succeed. I look forward to learning as much as I can from this program and helping others by sharing my own experiences."

W.O.M.E.N. In America – which stands for Women Optimizing Mentoring, Education and Networking – welcomes early career high-potential young women with demonstrated leadership ability for a premier professional development opportunity. Their distinguished Leadership Program seeks to empower and equip women with the skills and development necessary to advance their careers. "We welcome Anastasia," affirms Meghan McRae, Executive Director of WIA. "Like many of the women who thrive in our program, she is eager to meet new people and engage in new opportunities with openness and curiosity."

Through small group "cluster" mentoring, educational programming, and various networking mixers and pop-up events, WIA delivers an enriching environment to build leadership skills that books simply can't capture. "Every mentee who enters our network has already demonstrated great potential to lead," says McRae. "Our goal is to help strengthen that foundation and uplift them so that they may rise more confidently to positions of prominence."

"We are excited that WIA has recognized Anastasia's potential and accepted her into their Leadership Program. We have high expectations for Anastasia's future as a leading woman in business."
