Our Mission
The mission of the AIPLA Mentoring Committee is to foster organic long standing relationships to strengthen the AIPLA village.
We understand that mentoring is integral to personal and professional development, so we work with members from all of AIPLA’s committees to facilitate mentoring relationships by making connections and providing support to grow those connections into long standing, mutually beneficial relationships.
This community offers acquaintance, networking, and professional and personal support. You can make an impact and inspire others by contributing to it.
Now more than ever, we need to engage and support one another!

Stated Meetings Initiatives
The Mentoring Committee hosts a networking event at each of AIPLA’s stated meetings. These events are a great way to develop relationships to grow your network as well as learn more about how to become actively involved within AIPLA.
- Onsite AIPLA Meeting Guide Pairings
Request a personal guide from an experienced AIPLA member to assist with making the stated meetings a valuable experience. The guide will meet with you before the meeting to understand your interests and wants from AIPLA. The goal of the relationship is to show the new member, or first time attendee, the value of AIPLA. This relationship can continue beyond the meeting into a professional development relationship.
