Mentor Program
The purpose of this program is to connect an industry leader with an emerging industry professional through a mentoring relationship that can lead to a transfer of knowledge and broadening of networks between the two. The program is based upon encouragement, constructive comments, openness, mutual trust, respect and a willingness to learn and share information. While it will initially be aimed at IDA’s Young Leaders Program (YLP) members, it may be broadened in scope at a future date. You must be an IDA/IDA YLP member to participate in this program.
For the emerging professional – the mentee, this program presents an opportunity to draw on the experience of established industry professionals in terms of their technical knowledge and also their business experience. For the mentor, it presents an opportunity to further strengthen the desalination and water reuse community by fostering the next generation of leaders. IDA is working closely with the YLP to manage and implement the program.
