Calling all Mentors!
Mentor Program Begins: October 1, 2024
Save the Date for the rollout of our first ever MPI Pittsburgh Mentor Program! This members-only program is designed to amplify MPI’s mission to connect the global meeting and event community to learn, innovate, collaborate and advocate. In order to learn and grow, we need each other and what better way to connect than through MPI Pittsburgh! Member participation in the program will support the connections that are valuable to early professionals and experienced professionals alike.
The month of August will focus on recruiting Mentors, those professionals with 5+ years of work experience.
In September, we’ll focus on generating excitement among our Mentees, those professionals or students with less than 5 years of work experience.
