Launching its second annual collaboration in April, the program focuses on partnering emerging leaders with experienced role models to provide guidance and career development. The annual cost to participate is $250 for mentees and complimentary for mentors investing their time and thought leadership.
The 2024 mentorship class will kick off on Monday, April 22, at inVest48. Be a part of the mentorship program and submit your application today. The deadline for submissions is March 15.
