REGISTRATION
How it Works
New to the ATIA convention, or willing to make a first-timer friend? When you register, check the box that indicates you’d like to be a “mentor,” or that you’re a first-time delegate to ATIA’s convention. You’ll be matched with a buddy whom you can meet in advance, or simply connect with once you arrive in Anchorage. Mentors and first timers will be randomly matched, and big-hearted and generous mentors may take on more than one first-timer if they’d like.
The mentor program will be added to the convention survey in order to improve it in the coming years.
Information for prospective mentors
Mentor responsibilities are as follows:
- The mentor will meet with their first timer before or at the First Timers’ Breakfast on Tuesday, October 7.
- Assist with choosing which workshops / programs would benefit the first timer
- It is up to the mentor / first timer how much time is spent together
- It is recommended that the mentor introduce the first timer to other attendees
- Sharing information is invaluable, as it may provide the first timer with a more valuable convention experience

- The first timer should feel free to ask questions or advice from their mentor
