IAAO accepting applications for new mentorship program
IAAO’s new mentorship program, Value in
Exchange, is now accepting applications and the program offers
opportunities for individuals interested in being a mentor or mentee.
The
program is a new IAAO member benefit and can help connect members who
have a lot of knowledge and experience with those members who haven’t
yet gained the same knowledge or experience. IAAO members interested in
participating as mentors and/or mentees are encouraged to apply at learn.iaao.org/apply.
Value
in Exchange will use the Mentorship Rocket platform to connect mentors
and mentees. Specialists designed and created Mentorship Rocket
exclusively for associations. Visit Mentorship Rocket to learn more about how mentors and mentees connect using the platform.
Benefits of mentoring include:
• Becoming a good listener
• Learning the art of delivering feedback
• Paying it forward.
Benefits for mentees include
• Learning to self-reflect
• Learning from others
• Having an advocate
Additional
benefits for participants include increasing self-confidence,
increasing self-awareness, and developing leadership skills.

Applications
are accepted on an ongoing basis, and the program can accommodate 100
participants at a time. If the program is at its capacity, your
application will be waitlisted until an opening occurs.
