2026 RIMiAD Mentorship Program—
Coming Soon!

January is National Mentoring Month and we are excited to announce that we are getting ready to launch the 2026 RIMiAD Mentorship Program. Last year, we paired 11 mentees and 11 mentors from different professional levels and design sectors and it was a great success. We’re looking forward to continuing that momentum this year!
