Mentorship Pairing

Mentees will be paired with mentors based on information provided during enrollment, such as areas of interest, job levels, and industry types.

Planned Meetings

The Emerging Leader Mentor Program will kick-off  in mid-November. Kickoff will begin with an orientation for mentors and mentees to discuss program structure and expectations. After the orientation, mentors and mentees should plan to meet by the end of November. We recommend meeting monthly throughout the program,  but each pairing can determine the appropriate cadence that works best for them.

Guided Experience

Mentors and mentees will be provided with handbooks (see links below) to guide their meetings and the development of their mentoring relationship. Mentors and mentees will set their own agendas and cadence for in-person or virtual meetings.

Feedback and Re-evaluation

Feedback is important to us! The IIA’s Mentoring Program Knowledge Group will check-in periodically with mentors and mentees to ensure connectivity and program satisfaction. Program participants are encouraged to give feedback directly to the Knowledge Group.
