2023 Program Information
This is an HBA members-only program (for mentees, mentors, and connectors). While you don't need to be an HBA member to apply, you must become an HBA member if you are accepted into the program and decide to participate.
Program Timeline
February/March: HBA matches mentors, mentees, and groups based on diverse backgrounds, functional areas, and industries.
March/April: Official program kickoff (matches and circles meet twice monthly from now to program conclusion).
June: Mid-year event with special guest speakers.
October/November: Program conclusion with celebration and reflections.
Program Logistics
HBA Europe, HBA Asia Pacific, and HBA Canada employ a 1:1 mentoring model, meaning that one mentor is paired with one mentee. The program is international and, as such, mentoring pairs usually meet virtually (using Skype, Zoom, phone, etc.), except where mentoring pairs may be co-located.
HBA regions in the United States employ a group mentoring model, meaning that mentoring takes place in groups ("circles"), with most groups made up of two mentors paired with four mentees. (Circle composition may vary slightly depending on the number of applicants and their locations, companies, and mentoring areas of focus.)
