1. Mentors and mentees must be a current ICDA member. (Active Membership or Retired Membership)

2. Mentors must be choir directors with a minimum of ten years of experience. Mentees must be choir directors with a maximum of five years of experience in the area where they need mentorship.

3. Prospective ICDA mentors and mentees must complete an application.

4. Mentors and mentees will be matched based on interest areas, expertise, and areas for potential growth. 

5. The mentor and mentee conversations are to be kept confidential. 

6. Mentoring sessions may occur by phone, video conferencing,  e-mails, or in-person. You are expected to have 4 check-ins per year but you can have more if agreeable to both parties.

7. During any in-school mentoring sessions, mentors will need to follow individual school requirements such as background checks, signing in at the front office, and showing identification. 

8. ICDA mentors serve as volunteers and cannot charge for any mentoring expenses including mileage or meals if they are serving in the capacity as an ICDA mentor with their assigned mentee.

9. ICDA mentors will work as partners with the mentee by helping them grow as a choral educator. 

10. Mentees are asked to respect the volunteer time of their ICDA mentor by being prepared for appointments.
