NEXT Mentoring & Peer Connections
Register as a mentor or peer connection
Thank you for generously offering your time and experience to support colleagues in the association sector. NEXT Mentoring & Peer Connections brings association professionals together to learn, share experience and support one another. You can help someone develop their career, guide a colleague settling into a new role, or connect with someone in a similar position for mutual support. A mentor offers guidance based on their experience. A peer connection brings colleagues together as equals to exchange ideas and talk things through. You are welcome to offer either or both. Please tell us about yourself and the connections you would welcome. We’ll check your profile with you before publishing it and confirm your availability before arranging an introduction.
