SEARCH & CONNECT
Use the ENA Mentor Directory to find mentors and/or mentees with whom you can connect online, by phone or in person.
Start by selecting the topic(s) that interest you.
Then select preferences for the mentoring venue, career stage, specialties, name and location.
Do one search or multiple searches. If you're unsure of the search criteria, select "Search for ALL of the selected values." The ENA CONNECT Mentor Directory will do the work for you and populate the results.
Next click on the member's name that you're interested in establishing a mentor/mentee connection with. The link will bring you to their profile page. If you think it's a desired match, look under the profile image for a Mentor/Mentee Request button, which when clicked will allow you to request a connection. If it's not a desired match, you can simply select the back button to return to your previous search results.
Once you have submitted your request, a notification will be sent to the recipient to accept/decline the request. To view the status of your requests, visit My Mentoring Relationships section within your profile under the Connections tab.
