Cleveland is pleased to inaugurate a Mentorship Program. The program is an outgrowth of discussions that began in March 2015 at a panel discussion for Women’s History month at the CUDC with over 100 attendees. A survey distributed at the program revealed a desire on the part of many to create a mentorship forum  outside of direct work channels. The response to follow up inquiry about willingness to participate either as a mentor and/or mentee was outstanding, and the desire expressed was to provide a forum for advocacy for personal and professional development of an individual, without fear or favor or the constraints of a direct work supervisor. A forum in which young professionals could seek and be provided with advice and counsel. 

If you are interested in establishing a relationship with a mentor, please click on the link below. Below, you can also find the AIA CLE Mentorship guidelines and a downloadable PDF Mentor catalogue with biographic information on the mentors. Please select, in order of priority, four choices for potential mentors. AIA CLE will pair mentors with mentees based on preference and a first come, first served basis, and arrange introductions.

It is anticipated that mentors and mentees will have contact on at least a quarterly basis, although this will be up to the individuals and may be more frequently. Registration will be reconfirmed annually. At any time, mentees and mentors may opt out; either to try a different partner, or to terminate the arrangement.  AIA CLE requests that you let us know if this is the case so that we may make appropriate new arrangements, either for a new mentor or a new mentee. We will check in periodically to see how things are going.
