Mentorship Program: Mentor-Protégé Pairing Event

This is ATDSFL's 17th year of offering our annual Mentorship Program.  This 2026 program runs January through June. Since its inception, the Carol Susan DeVaney Mentorship Program has made a positive difference in the lives of more than 360 professionals as a flagship program for the chapter. Participation in the program is exclusive to members.

The program Kick-Off and Pairing Event provide for an opportunity for all program participants to meet and connect with one another. The highlight of the event is the pairing of mentors and proteges, allowing individuals to quickly meet each other, share program goals, and backgrounds. The program concludes with the pairs meetings, establishing their goals, and scheduling their first mentor/protégé working session.
