The SGA Mentoring Program is just one of the many benefits available exclusively for SGA members. Joining the program means you will have the benefit of the vast experience of SGA’s professional archivists working throughout the state. The Program is for all members, at any stage of their career, from those just entering the work force to those who are changing tracks or taking on new responsibilities such as management. 

The importance of mentors in our lives and careers cannot be overstated. Professional archivists face many challenges and having a mentor or someone you can turn to for advice or help in developing skills and strategies can make all the difference in the world.

Take it from some of our mentors about the importance of their mentors: “At every step of my career I've had amazing mentors that have helped me grow, develop, and reflect on this profession.” “I have been mentored several times throughout my career and it has shaped where I am today.” “…it's invaluable to have someone outside of your workplace that you can turn to with questions great and small.”
