Chapter initiates Mentor Program
Recognizing the important role mentors have in the development of public relations professionals, the Richmond Chapter of PRSA has developed a Mentorship Program. It will benefit both mentors and protégés. Newer public relations practitioners can grow professionally through their association with a seasoned practitioner. Experienced professionals can help ensure the growth of the public relations profession, as well as gaining insights from their younger colleagues.
A mentorship relationship is more than just a cheerleading session or help with a job search. It’s an opportunity to help guide newer professionals through the nuts and bolts of public relations, and show them how to turn theory into practice. It's a mentor's chance to help ensure that tomorrow's public relations leaders have the tools they need to move the profession forward.
The program offers mentors and protégés the opportunity both to share in each other’s successes and to provide support during challenging career moments.
Available only to members of PRSA Richmond, the program will build a relationship that matches a mentor and a protégé who have similar areas of work experience and interests. The mentor and protégé will jointly determine their goals for what they hope to accomplish and their approach on how best to reach them.
