Mentorship Program

Now taking applications for the AMA Mentorship Program!

AMA Minnesota’s Mentorship Program pairs established marketing professionals with future leaders to facilitate the exchange of ideas and knowledge.

Fueled by AMA’s core value to “Connect, Learn and Grow,” our 12-month program facilitates one-to-one mentoring to create strong leaders in the Minnesota marketing community.

Our program is strategically designed to be mentee-driven and to create a meaningful relationship for both the mentor and mentee.

The Mentorship Program application deadline is Sunday, April 23, 2023.

Please plan to attend the Mentorship Group Kick-Off virtually on Monday, May 1, from 5:00-6:00 pm. Attendance is strongly encouraged.

Please contact Heather Gilbert (heathergilbert028@gmail.com) with any questions.
