For Mentees

Learn From Someone Who’s Been There

Participate in this program and connect with an experienced ASC administrator who is ready to help and support you as you get acclimated to your new role. As a mentee, you’ll learn new ideas and best practices from those who have been in your shoes. You will get the tools and resources you need to improve your ASC, make meaningful professional connections, and learn about the approaches and successes of administrators from all over the country.

Please note: This program is for new administrators with a maximum of two years of experience or current ASC employees who aspire to become ASC administrators. It is not designed to be prep for the CASC exam.

For Mentors

Give Back to the ASC Community

A mentor can play a massive role in helping employees get acclimated and decrease the learning curve in their new position. Your knowledge and expertise of the role of an ASC administrator is based on experience that new ASC administrators, and those interested in becoming an administrator, want and need. Help them develop the skills necessary to tackle the challenges ahead by sharing what you have learned over the years. Through this program, you will strengthen your leadership skills, expand the professional network for yourself and your mentee(s), and, ultimately, leave your mark on the next generation of ASC administrators.

“The ASCA Administrator Development program is a great learning opportunity for gaining exposure to the various leadership functions ASC administrators encounter. The program will cover topics ranging from accreditation and governance to HR and finance, providing a broad overview of critical areas. In addition to learning about different topics, you’ll be assigned a mentor and be in a cohort of other administrators to share knowledge and experiences. I would highly recommend the Administrator Development program to anyone who is interested in growing in their knowledge and career.”

Michael DeGuire
Mentee, 2025-2026 Spring Virtual Class

“[My mentor] was great! She had a suggestion for every issue brought forward. She also gave real examples and helpful feedback. I enjoyed this program and I believe it will help in my future role and sitting for the ASC Admin exam.

Kimberly Sumner, BS, RN, CRNFA, CNOR
Mentee, 2025-2026 Spring Virtual Class

“The program was well-organized and extremely beneficial. I appreciate the structure, variety of content and opportunities to learn from mentors. My mentor was supportive, engaging and available whenever I needed clarification or guidance. The mentorship component added great value to the program.”

Brad Checker
Mentee, 2025-2026 Spring Virtual Class

“This program has been such a help as I get my administrator career underway. I would highly recommend it to anyone just getting started as an administrator. I also think the mentors deserve a big round of applause for giving their time and knowledge so freely.”
