cultivating theatre leadership through experience

GVPTA Theatre Mentorship Program 2012

Harnessing the knowledge and experience of senior staff in our Full Member Theatres, the GVPTA is pleased to facilitate this program to connect more experienced theatre managers with nascent theatre adminstrators, who will benefit from the guideance of a mentor. 

Who is this Program for?

If you are a Manager, Director or Executive Director and feel that you could offer support and insight to a less-experienced peer working in your area of expertise, OR if you are in a management role at a GVPTA Associate Member Theatre and would like to be paired with a mentor, please contact GVPTA Executive Director Eleanor Stacey at 604.608.6799 or eleanor[at]gvpta.ca.

Expectations

Mentorships require a minimum one-year committment from both mentor and apprentice, and each pair is expected to meet once monthly (more often if mutually desired).  There is no outcome required through this program, although goal-setting at the beginning of the relationship is recommended. 

There is no cost to either party, although both parties' theatres must be members in good standing throughout the program. 

More information and guidelines to follow soon.
