We recognize that every professional relationship is different. Our Selection Committee uses application materials, including a questionnaire and a portfolio similar to those required by agents and brokers, to pair mentors and protégées. Media, proximity and the protégée's needs and goals are all taken into account. A staff liaison will provide support and resources over the course of the 9 month program. The mentor and protégée will confer and decide on a program structure that will work with both parties' time constraints and toward the protégée's goals. This is not a classroom program, but we do recommend meeting in person with your mentor at least once during the program year and maintaining a regular contact schedule. Applicants not accepted for the program year will receive a written critique with their returned portfolio.
