Mentoring for SECNA members

SECNA invites members to access help and guidance through virtual, group peer mentoring sessions generously supported by The City of Sydney.

How does it work?

One SECNA member receives mentoring on a topic of their choice by the group of attendees who have joined the call (SECNA Operations team, other SECNA members, industry peers, experts etc.) The session is facilitated by SECNA. Mentees are sent an email summary of the call post session.

Session format:

  • Introductions - All (5 mins)

  • Overview of mentoring topic - Mentee (5 mins)

  • Open and curious questions followed by guidance and recommendations - All (45 mins)

  • Wrap-up - SECNA (5 mins)

When are the mentoring sessions?

Tuesday 1:00-2:00pm 

Wednesday 10:00-11:00am 

Who can participate?

Mentoring is available to SECNA members and others by invitation (e.g. industry experts).

Members that would prefer to listen versus contribute to the discussion are encouraged to join the session.
