In promoting the career advancement and leadership development within the Pan-Asian American community, NAAAP-Chicago is pleased to announce the launch of its Mentoring Program. Designed to make a lasting impact and create laudable leaders through quality programming, learning and networking events among a carefully selected group of mentors and mentees, the NAAAP-Chicago Mentoring Program strives to accomplish a mutually beneficial relationship among its cohort.

Mentoring supports personal and professional development; mentors are trusted guides with whom mentees can turn to for advice.  Mentors inspire and guide mentees by sharing their personal experiences, challenges, and success stories.  In sharing their knowledge, mentors help mentees develop in their careers.
