2024-25 MBA Mentorship Program Registration

Welcome to the MBA Mentorship Program!

Please fill out the following form to help us assess how we can best support you and pair you with a mentor. Please note that although we will do our best to pair mentees with a mentor of their choice, this process takes into consideration a variety of factors including capacity, distribution of workload, and geography and cannot guarantee a specific pairing.

A virtual kick-off & info session took place via Zoom on September 17, 2024. We will send you the link to view this session if you would like.

If you have any questions please contact Brent Johnson, Executive Director, at executivedirector@mbband.org or 204-663-1226.
