What is the MPhA Ambassador Program?
MPhA Ambassadors Program fosters leadership through mentorship, with the main objective being to connect experienced MPhA members with new members to help orient them to the association and its benefits.
Ambassadors also act as mentors and would also serve to create a path for new members based on their professional interests. They would also help connect mentees with association resources/groups that are related to their career interests and help foster their professional and leadership development.
Benefits of the Program
- Networking!! Grow your professional network and meet amazing people
- Gain personalized insights into Association benefits from opportunities to get involved from someone who has first-hand experience
- Learn how Association programs, committees and initiatives match with your own professional interests and where you can best fit in.
- Professional and personal development
What are the components of the program?
- All dues-paying members (including students) are eligible and encouraged to participate as mentees, especially new members!
- The program consists of matching an “ambassador” (mentor) and a mentee. Mentor and Mentee ratios may be 1:1 or 1:2 (1 mentor to 2 mentees)
- Current MPhA members who are active and engaged in the association and have been members for at least 2 years will serve as ambassadors
- Mentees would be paired with an ambassador for at least the first year of their membership and have the option to opt- out at any time.
- The ambassador-mentee relationship will be driven by those individuals. MPhA would only be directly involved in establishing the initial pairing and recruitment of ambassadors
