NCFR and its Students and New Professionals (SNP) leaders are excited to pilot the NCFR Mentoring Academy program, in which any NCFR member is eligible and invited to participate as either a mentor or a mentee.

The first class of mentors and mentees was notified by Sept. 15, and their one-year cycle as part of the pilot program began at the 2019 NCFR Annual Conference. Pairs will be in contact at least once per month during the year, working toward goals that support their professional development.

A session at the 2019 NCFR Annual Conference in Fort Worth marked the official beginning of the first year of the Mentoring Academy. During this session, the inaugural class of mentoring dyads was inducted, and these pairs had time to meet together and learn about the mentoring process. See more photos from this session.

Thank you to everyone who applied to the NCFR Mentoring Academy this year! The application period for the second year of the pilot program will begin in late spring 2020. Learn more about the Mentoring Academy.

Congratulations to all our mentors and mentees, many of which are pictured above.
