One conversation, one connection, one career changed.
Overview
The CAMEA Mentorship Link is a peer-to-peer program designed to build confidence, community, and professional support among Executive Assistants and administrative professionals in local government across Canada.
Mentorship Link brings professionals together through meaningful, one-to-one conversations grounded in lived experience. It is not about hierarchy or formal instruction — it is about learning from one another, sharing perspective, and strengthening our national community of administrative professionals.
How the Program Works:
Mentorship Link is a flexible, member-driven program that allows participants to shape their own mentorship experience.
Participants may choose to participate as a:
- Mentor – Share your experience, offer encouragement, and help others as they navigate their professional journey in local government.
- Mentee – Gain perspective, advice, and professional support from someone who understands the realities of your role.
Mentor–mentee pairs typically connect through confidential virtual conversations, scheduled at a pace and frequency that works for both participants. Each relationship is guided by mutual respect, shared goals, and open dialogue.

Build meaningful professional connections across Canada
Strengthen leadership, communication, and confidence
