The EACE Mentor Network is designed to help build a more robust community amongst EACE members and to support and promote the sharing of knowledge through mentor-mentee partnerships and informal connections. This network is a great opportunity for both new and veteran EACE members to grow their networks and further develop as leaders and professionals in a simple, self-guided way.

All EACE members are welcome to join the Mentor Network by checking the box on their profile to appear in the Mentor Network Directory. You may select the types of connections you're open to, whether you're looking for a mentor, mentee, or just informal networking connections, or all of the above! Then you may begin searching the directory and reaching out to new connections! Please note: this is not a matching program and all connections through the network are self-directed. 

The EACE Mentoring Sub-Committee aims to provide additional opportunities to foster connections within EACE through events such as virtual mixers and networking events, webinars on mentoring tips, and in person events at the EACE conference. 

The EACE Mentor Network is the first step of fostering mentorship within EACE in a new, more accessible and sustainable way.
