Mentoring is the calling card of the College of Fellows, and a primary benefit of membership in PRSA. In this interactive webinar, you will hear from PRSA leaders who will share what they learned as they developed and implemented mentoring programs at the Chapter level. We will also give an overview of PRSA’s existing mentoring programs as well as the new opportunities available in 2022 to access mentoring at all levels — whether you are a student, new professional, mid-level, or senior PR practitioner. In addition, those who wish to offer their expertise as a mentor will hear about the options for volunteering and what’s involved in signing up for the program that best suits your availability.
