“I have been very pleased with the way that the inaugural SFA DEI Mentorship Program was organized and I feel that I benefited significantly from being able to discuss my career goals with someone in a similar industry.

Since starting the mentorship program, I secured a promotion and a substantive change in my role that has allowed me to have a better work-life balance. The advice received from my mentor was always dispassionate, well-considered, and very constructive. My mentor encouraged me to look at things differently and helped me make some hard decisions related to my personal and professional goals, career development opportunities, and my future plans.

The support from SFA in facilitating this mentoring program has been invaluable and I look forward to taking on a mentee of my own one day.”

“I have gained a lifelong mentor and friend through the SFA Mentorship Program – someone that I can reach out to whenever I need to in order to talk about my personal and professional goals and how to achieve them. My mentor taught me that there is no linear path to success and that in order to be successful, I need to be my authentic self. I’m grateful that the SFA Mentorship Program paired me with the perfect mentor, someone whom I’ve been comfortable confiding in and has helped me navigate the next steps in my career over the past year.”
