Combined Networking Blitz - Mentorship Program Orientation
A great networking event combined with our 2026 mentorship program launch.
We're excited to once again be combining two events into one gathering, enabling our Spring Networking Blitz participants to also connect with our 2026 ACHE of North Texas Mentorship Program mentor and mentee participants.
We will start the evening with everyone gathered together for some fun networking activities, a brief showcasing of the ACHE of North Texas chapter and an exploration of how to maximize your ACHE membership experience. Then, as the night progresses, the two groups will separate with 1) the 2026 ACHENTX Mentors and Mentees having an orientation of this year's Mentorship Program and 2) the Networking Blitz attendees continuing with some additional organized networking opportunities.
It's going to be an evening filled with a lot of fun and TONS of networking! We look forward to seeing you there!
