Mentorship Program
Overview
The goal of the NAFTZ Mentorship Program is to foster an exchange of knowledge and ideas, develop foreign-trade zones (FTZ) professionals at all levels, and expand networks. An important benefit of NAFTZ membership — in addition to discounted access to high-quality programming and events — is our network of professionals who possess valuable experience from whom others can learn. Mentoring is not expected to be a large time commitment, but is intended to benefit both parties.
Note: This opportunity is available to Grantee, Operator/User, and 3PL/3FP members only.
Sign-Up for the Mentorship Program
Applications are now open for the November 2025 - April 2026 Mentorship Program term. Once applications close on September 26 the Membership Subcommittee will review each submission. We'll then email each mentee profiles of the mentors (the mentors' application summarized and in a format that easily legible) that we feel would be a good match. Mentees will be asked to select their top picks, the Mentorship Sub-Committee will review and finalize before introducing each mentee and mentor and launching the program in November.
