Become a Mentor

Throughout the year, the SommCon community is joined by professionals throughout the industry in mentorship discussions both virtually and in person at events across the country. Mentors help by providing advice, industry insights, professional and personal perspectives on career development and growth, encouragement and accountability, and an expanding network to those either in the early stages of their career or more seasoned professionals in need.
