Join Christy Pettit, CEO of Pollinate Networks, for a practical, Q&A-style session focused on the best practices that help mentoring programs succeed within associations.

Drawing on more than 20 years of experience working with associations and mentoring programs, Christy will walk through four real-world case studies to show what successful programs look like in practice, the challenges organizations commonly encounter , and what organizations can learn from them.

The session will also break down the key before, during, and after “must dos” that help create a strong participant experience, from recruitment and matching through engagement, support, measurement, and follow-up.

Most importantly, Christy will show how a highly tailored six-month mentoring program can be designed and managed with five hours or less of staff time, making it possible to deliver meaningful member value without adding another major project to your team’s workload.

This interactive session is designed for association professionals who are exploring mentoring, preparing to launch a new program, or looking for ways to improve an existing one. Attendees will also have the opportunity to bring their own questions and challenges to the discussion.

You’ll leave with practical examples, a clearer understanding of what matters most at each stage of a mentoring program, and ideas for creating a high-impact experience without creating a high-maintenance program.
