An ISPA mentor serves as a sounding board, brainstormer, and contact person for new members or any member who wishes to have a mentor. Mentors provide encouragement and support through regularly scheduled discussions and interactions. Most mentors are assigned to one individual but can volunteer to be responsible for more.

If you wish to become a mentor or to have a mentor assigned to you, send your name to Joanna Beck at Joanna_Beck@ipsd.org indicating your preference. Or, your name will be automatically submitted if you indicated an interest in the mentor program when you edit your ISPA Web site profile. Connections will be made between participants initially based on their geographic locations.
