Last Thursday, the #ALPFA Austin community came together for a special Día de los Muertos celebration and a heartfelt closing ceremony for our 2024 Mentorship Program. Running from May to October, this program connected 12 dedicated mentor-mentee pairs who met monthly to dive into career development, leadership, and professional growth. Our mentors from across Austin shared their invaluable expertise with mentees eager to advance their personal and professional journeys. If you’re in Austin and interested in joining as a mentee for our 2025 program or lending your experience as a mentor.

2024 ALPFA Mentorship Program Closing Ceremony Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of gathering with the ALPFA Austin community to celebrate Día de los Muertos and to hold an intimate closing ceremony for our Mentorship Program. This pilot program ran from May to October 2024, during which 12 mentor-mentee pairs met monthly to focus on career development, leadership, and professional growth opportunities. The program brought together mentors who are recognized leaders in Austin for their expertise and contributions, and 12 mentees from our community who are deeply committed to their self-development. If you're in the Austin area and are interested in applying as a mentee for our 2025 edition or would like to contribute as a mentor to support our community, check the links in the comments below. A special thank you to Alejandra Rodríguez Mielke, PhD, ACC (she/ella) for being instrumental in the program’s creation and implementation, to Ivan Jileta, our valued teammate and mentor, and to Anette Armenta for supporting our communication efforts.
