Mentorship Program

Mentorship Program — The Link to Success

This year's program begins in November of 2008 and runs through the end of April of 2009 — we are currently recruiting participants.

The purpose of the AMA Atlanta Mentorship program is to join experienced marketers with those at the beginning of their marketing careers to share expertise, exchange ideas, and provide professional development tips and techniques. This program has been successful for years, providing assistance and building friendships.

Mentoring partnerships outside of one's own organization, as with AMA Atlanta's Mentorship program, helps establish an immediate comfort zone for the mentees, helping participants take part in candid conversations without the worry of retribution.
