Building Relationships in Today's Professional Environment

This is a new program for architects of all levels. By creating a forum for cross-generational interaction, the Mentorship Program seeks to: build a network for established and emerging professionals beyond the office environment, promote personal and professional development in the areas of leadership, mentoring, and relationship building, and provide supplemental tools for emerging professionals to fulfill the requirements for licensure.

AIA SF's Mentorship Program consists of mentor groups that are required to meet between 4-6 times a year. Group meetings can be casual or structured, depending on the dynamic of the individual groups. Each group will be comprised of:

• One Seasoned, licensed professional (+/- 15 years of experience)
• Two Mid-level, licensed or unlicensed professional (5-15 years of experience)
• One Emerging, unlicensed professional (0-5 years of experience)
