The Mac Admins Foundation Announces New Pilot Mentorship Program to Propel Professional Development in the Community
Washington, D.C. – The Mac Admins Foundation, a cornerstone organization in fostering professional growth and community development with Mac Admins, is excited to unveil its pilot mentorship program. This initiative is a leap forward in our ongoing commitment to nurturing talent and facilitating career advancement within the community.
Introducing a New Path to Growth
The heart of our pilot mentorship program lies in the power of choice and connection. Designed to bridge the gap between aspiring professionals and industry veterans, this program enables mentees to handpick their mentors from a curated list of experienced individuals. This approach fosters a sense of empowerment among mentees and ensures alignment in professional aspirations, interests, and mentoring styles.
Program Highlights
Mentee-driven Mentor Selection: Enabling mentees to choose their mentors from a comprehensive list, ensuring a match that resonates with their career goals and personal development needs.
Diverse Pool of Mentors: A carefully selected roster of professionals from various industries, ready to share their insights, experiences, and guidance.
Feedback-Informed Iteration: The pilot phase will incorporate participant feedback to continuously refine and enhance the mentorship experience.
Participation and Application Details
We invite individuals looking to advance their careers and seasoned professionals interested in giving back to the community to join this program. Application forms for mentors and mentees will be available on our website starting on 1 July 2024, marking the commencement of this exciting initiative. This post, and our website, will be updated with a new Mentorship section on that date with additional details.
"I am incredibly excited about the launch of our mentorship program pilot, a crucial step forward in our mission of serving Mac Admins around the world. This program embodies our foundation's dedication to empowering professionals with the skills and support they need to truly excel. By connecting experienced leaders with emerging and growing talents, we are not only nurturing individual growth—we are strengthening the very fabric of our global community."

“I would not be where I am in my career without the mentorship I received early on. My mentors dedicated their time to coaching me, always providing the tools and guidance I needed to succeed. With the Mac Admins Foundation Mentorship program, I am elated that others will have the opportunity to experience the same. I am so eager to see the impact this program will have on members of this community and listen to your stories.”
Laura Anthony, MAF Mentorship Committee Founding Member
“Mentorship is something that is very important to me - several members of our community spent a lot of time mentoring me when I was earlier in my career. Mentorship gave me the tools I needed to get where I wanted to be. Now it’s my turn to give back to our community with the Mac Admins Foundation Mentorship program - I’m very excited to see what this program will bring to both our mentees and mentors.”
Graham Gilbert, MAF Mentorship Committee Founding Member
This pilot program is the first step in evaluating the potential for scaling and enriching our mentorship offerings. We aim to create a sustainable, impactful framework that supports ongoing professional development within the Mac Admin community.
