• Be available to meet at least once in person with your protégé in advance of AFP Ottawa’s Fundraising Day, AND
• Be available to attend AFP Ottawa’s Fundraising Day on May 5-6, 2021 with your protégé and assist them with networking.

Benefits of becoming a mentor:

• Receive complimentary registration for AFP Ottawa’s 2021 Fundraising Day
• Opportunity to lead AFP’s new monthly “Ask me Anything” series, a virtual, members-only coffee chat
• Complimentary registration for ALL of AFP Ottawa’s professional development events for the rest of 2021
• Develop your leadership skills, and the knowledge that you’re helping develop the next generation of leaders in our industry

Separate registration for Fundraising Day is required. Successful candidates will be notified and provided with a promo code upon acceptance into the program. AFP Ottawa’s Future Leaders mentorship program exists outside of and in addition to existing mentorship relationships. Mentors may not request a specific protégé and will not be paired with an existing protégé, and all pairings will be done by committee based on mutual interests.
