  • 1.  Applications being accepted for the ASHA Leadership Mentoring Program (LMP)

    Posted 05-10-2021 11:42 PM

    ASHA is now accepting mentee and mentor applications for the Leadership Mentoring Program (LMP),* a program that supports the Association's continued efforts to develop a diverse pipeline of future leaders for ASHA's volunteer leadership, as well as the professions. Through one-on-one interactions with an experienced mentor, mentees will receive support in defining and developing their leadership goals, as well as identifying future career or volunteer paths.

     

    Members interested in becoming mentees will be accepted upon completing an application and if a mentor match is made. Applicants should discern which leadership competencies are a priority in their applications. Mentee candidates will be accepted into the program if there is a mentor match.

     

    Members interested in becoming a mentor must submit an application for consideration. Mentor candidates will be accepted based on their application responses and if there is a mentee match.

     

    The LMP is a 6-month program and will kick off with online orientation webinars for both mentors and mentees:

    Mentor Orientation – September 22, Noon–1:00 p.m., ET

    Mentee Orientation – September 22, 1:30–2:30 p.m., ET

     

    Completed applications are due no later than 3:00 p.m., ET, Thursday, June 22, 2021.

    Hello  Megan,

     

    The Leadership Development Program is a year long program that takes a deep dive into developing participant's leadership skills facilitated by two consultants with PhD's in leadership development.  It consists of a Kickoff Workshop and 8 webinars (each a leadership topic such as Strategic Thinking, Building Healthy Teams).  Participants come to the program with a real life project they work on utilizing their leadership skills to make progress or finish it during the program.  Read more about the Leadership Development Program.

     

    The Leadership Mentoring Program is a six month program that matches a mentor and mentee that can support the mentee towards a predefined leadership development goal noted in their application.  Perhaps, the mentee wants to move up into management and the mentor can support them by giving them guidance and practical advice to accomplish their goal.  All of the heavy lifting is done by the mentee in this program with mentors serving as their "coach".  Read more about the Leadership Mentoring Program.
