Meeting Mentor Experience at the NCURA Annual Meeting

Each year, NCURA offers a free Meeting Mentor Experience to help new Annual Meeting attendees feel instantly connected—New York style. Think of it as finding your NCURA “neighborhood” in a big city: a friendly guide, a familiar face, and a few great introductions that make everything easier. These mentor pairings help you navigate the meeting, build your network, and get the most out of your time together in NYC.

The Mentee Experience - NYC Edition
