The NAIOP Northern Virginia Developing Leaders Mentor Program is designed to create an informal exchange between young professionals and leaders in the commercial real estate development industry. The program promotes professional growth for mentees by acting as a forum for education and networking with peers and established professionals.
The DL Mentor Program is available to any member of the Northern Virginia chapter who is age 35 or younger. The mentors are, or have served, in the NAIOP chapter leadership. A mentor is assigned a group of four to six DLs, and meets with the group a minimum of six times during the year.
Each mentor group establishes its own goals and objectives. In addition to individual and group mentor meetings, there are joint programs and functions with other mentor groups, as well as opportunities for one-on-one engagement with mentors. Past mentor programs have included project tours; case studies; financial education, goal-setting, and sessions with regional real estate leaders and elected officials.
The deadline to register is Monday, March 17. Registration for the 2025 program will be capped at 40 people. You must complete a short questionnaire about your goals and objectives before being assigned to your mentor group. A link to the questionnaire will be provided to you when you receive the receipt for your registration. The questionnaire should be completed by Friday, March 21. Mentees will be assigned to their mentor group and notified in late March.
Members of past mentorship classes may register for the 2025 program.
Once registered you will be directed to an online survey about your background and interests. You can also fill out the survey by clicking here. You will need to log in to our registration system.
