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 or prospective administrators with a maximum of two years of experience. 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.

“This was a fantastic learning experience! I have gained so many insights and knowledge and had a great mentor who I can continue to ask for advice as I move forward on my administrator journey.”

Amy Hunt
Mentee, 2023-2024 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.”

Kelly Baker
Mentee, 2023-2024 Virtual Class

“The administrator development program has greatly exceeded my expectations. The assignments and monthly calls have been invaluable in my growth as an administrator. I was gifted with an absolutely amazing mentor who is available for any and all questions and has been a cherished part of this program. I hope one day I can give back to future mentees what this program has provided for me.”

Jennifer Hodge
Mentee, 2022-2023 Hybrid Class

“This course was invaluable to me. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in participating, and any employer who is considering it for their staff. It more than pays for itself. I learned much more in this program than I did in any on-the-job training for this position. Thank you so much ASCA for this extremely well-organized and helpful program!”
