ProConnect Application

The IPRA ProConnect Mentorship Program is an award winning program designed to connect and inspire IPRA Professionals across career stages through meaningful mentorship, shared learning, and career development. The program brings professionals at different career stages together in three-person mentorship triads to share experiences, explore goals, and learn from one another.
Mentoring is a “give and receive” process to provide a rich and rewarding group experience for early career, mid-level career, and advanced/retired professionals. We ask you to share all your information so the ProConnect Board of Regents can match one mentor and two mentees in a beneficial mentoring “triad” relationship.
