Emerging Leaders Mentorship Webinar

AFCEA's Emerging Leaders (EL) community continues to thrive through strong mentorship networks across chapters worldwide. In this international webinar, ELs from the Alamo, Bethesda, Bonn, and Hawaii Chapters will share mentorship perspectives shaped by their diverse missions and communities. The discussion will highlight the vital role mentorship plays within AFCEA and examine how the association develops its next generation of leaders, including the evolution of AFCEA Mentoring Programs that connect young professionals with senior leaders from the military, industry, and academia. Panelists will offer insights, lessons learned, and practical strategies for sustaining a vibrant mentorship culture that empowers members, strengthens chapters, and supports the global AFCEA mission.

Drawing on personal experiences and successful initiatives, panelists will spotlight programs such as Alamo's Mentor-Protege Night, Bethesda's Mentor Match Night, Bonn's Cross-Mentoring program, and Hawaii's Executive Mentoring Event. They will also highlight broader mentoring efforts from the Northern Virginia and DC Chapters, as well as AFCEA resources like the Disruptive by Design podcast, providing attendees with a rich set of examples and tools to inspire stronger mentorship within their own chapters and careers.
