About the Program

In partnership with The Art of Mentoring, TSAE’s Better Together Mentor Program is designed to provide a unique relationship opportunity for members to connect, share knowledge and support each other's growth and development. 

By bringing together experienced professionals and those eager to learn, we create a vibrant and supportive environment for association professionals to thrive. 

Mentees will gain personal and professional development through problem solving and constructive guidance from a Mentor and to recognize professional challenges and achievements. 

Mentors will be given training to develop better coaching and leadership skills that will serve them beyond the program and into their personal career growth. It is a chance to share knowledge and leave a legacy while also reflecting on their own careers and experience.
