Mentorship Program

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The NAIOP Colorado Developing Leaders (DL) Mentor Program offers DL Member participants a distinctive opportunity to advance their real estate career and help them establish their foothold in the dynamic real estate industry.

Small Class Size & Highly Selective - Only 12 to 16 applicants are selected to participate.
Tailored Fit - A selected mentor is recruited for each participant based off their application, interview, goals, and work history.
Graduation Requirements - In order to graduate from the program, an applicant must at least attend all programs and events, and meet with their mentor on a monthly basis.
Program & Events - A number of events and programs are created each year as an opportunity to network not only with your mentor but other mentors/mentees in the program as well.
Program Fees - The annual program fee is typically $700, which includes a $50 non-refundable application fee, plus $650 program fee if accepted. These fees include attendance, meals and beverages at all Mentor Program educational, networking and special event programming. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the financial challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the program fees for 2020 have been reduced to $500 ($50 application fee, plus $450 program fee); participants will also have the option to set up make flexible payment arrangements.

The DL Mentor Program is typically a 6-month commitment beginning in July through December of the current calendar year. The application process for the 2020 DL Mentor Program has passed.
