Connect with your housing governance mentor at this event.
We have 20 spots for mentoring sessions at Housing Governance 2026.
If you are new the sector or in the early stages of your career, you could receive a 30-minute mentoring session with a more experienced colleague. This is a chance to discuss career goals, professional skills or anything you feel will advance your social housing governance career.
Delegates will be invited to apply for this after they register for this conference. An application does not guarentee success and we cannot take applications after Friday 24 April.
I am extremely passionate about supporting fellow colleagues in our sector to develop and progress. Mentoring opportunities such as this really do offer benefits to both the mentor and mentee.
