Mentorship Program

The PRSA Northeast Wisconsin Mentorship Program is an opportunity for new members to be matched with a mentor to build connections, form a positive professional relationship, and become acclimated with the PRSA Northeast Wisconsin chapter and community. Mentors can help mentees set goals, network professionally, and share their knowledge and expertise. Mentorship relationships are beneficial for both mentors and mentees.

This program is not limited to new professionals. A seasoned professional who is a new member of PRSA Northeast Wisconsin is welcome to participate in the program. You will be matched with a mentor based on interests, industry, personality, experience, etc. 

Expectations for Mentors and Mentees

• The official mentorship match will last one year from when the new member joins. If the relationship is mutually agreeable and beneficial, the relationship can continue in an unofficial capacity after one year.
• Mentors must be a member of PRSA Northeast Wisconsin.
• Mentors will have at least five years of experience in the communications field, and/or have been a member of PRSA Northeast Wisconsin for at least two years.
• At the beginning of the mentorship match, mentors will be required to set-up an in-person or virtual meeting to discuss what each party expects out of the mentorship, and how communication moving forward should best take place.
• Mentors will touch base with their mentees quarterly. Opportunities to touch base include:
  • Sending an email to check-in
  • Offering an in-person opportunity to connect such as a coffee or lunch meeting
  • Attending a programming meeting together
  • Phone call
  • Zoom meeting
