CBV INSTITUTE LAUNCHES MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

Sharing Professional and Personal Experience to Advance Careers in Business Valuation

As part of CBV Institute’s focus on and commitment to ED&I, this inaugural Mentorship Program is designed to connect mentors and female mentees in meaningful and respectful mentoring relationships.

Navigating a business valuation career path can be daunting, and having a mentor with experience in the field can support mentees in furthering their professional growth. Mentors will have the opportunity to “pay-it-forward” in a meaningful way, by sharing their accumulated knowledge and experience, and by knowing they are giving back, empowering and advancing a female professional in the early stages of her career.

The mentor and mentee application forms, along with additional information, are available on our website.
