    Mentoring that Makes a Difference

    Join us for the next NZSAE Webinar as we explore how associations in Aotearoa are building mentoring programmes that genuinely deliver value — for both mentors and mentees.

    We’ll hear from three associations that have designed, implemented, and sustained successful mentoring initiatives. Each speaker will take us behind the scenes of their programme: how it’s structured, what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and the impact it’s had on members and their wider community.

    Why attend?

    • Learn from real-world examples – no theory, just practical lessons

    • Get inspiration for your own programme, whether you’re starting from scratch or improving what you’ve got

    • Ask questions directly during our interactive Q&A

    Perfect for: CEOs, senior managers, and anyone involved in professional development or member engagement within associations.

    Let’s make mentoring more than a buzzword — let’s make it work.
