The SAH Mentorship Program supports members at pivotal moments in their career — whether they are just starting out, preparing for promotion, or considering significant career changes. Those seeking direction or ready to offer guidance are encouraged to apply for this enriching opportunity to engage with the SAH community.
Complete a survey about your profession/field, subject area of expertise, experience in particular geographic areas, and mentoring goals/strengths. Surveys for a given mentorship cycle are due on or about October 1 each year.
The mentorship program committee reviews all submitted surveys and finds for you a rewarding relationship partner. Pairings will be announced on or about November 1 each year.
To ensure everyone has a rewarding, thoughtful, and confidential experience, read and agree to the Program's guidelines. Forms are due before January 1 each year. See a sample agreement linked below.
Ask, listen, share, and discuss. Through at least six meetings over the 18-month period, mentees and mentors will share career challenges and opportunities from each of their perspectives.
