The 2025 Mentorship Program Has Launched: Meet This Year’s Inspiring Cohort!

“As the world continues to evolve, it is crucial that we learn from each other’s challenges, strategies, and successes. By sharing my experiences, I hope to guide the next group in developing their own resilience and adaptability, helping them thrive in a constantly shifting environment.”

“...working specifically with the ASAP mentors program, I’ve seen how it can catalyze the career of a mentee from early struggles to solid landings in new positions to advancing their caree,r becoming not only a continuing and active ASAP member, but a leader in the field.” 

“I was in [a] previous cohort…as a mentee, and I found it extremely valuable for me both personally and professionally…I want to give back and serve as a Mentor this year, where I hope to provide wisdom and expertise I can to a mentee in this field to support their personal and professional goals.”

“There’s a lot to learn from early career professionals with different outlooks and more specialized education, and I hope to help new names, faces, and ideas enter and enrich the adaptation field; we need all the help we can get!”
