MENTORING ASIAN AMERICAN
PROFESSIONALS (MAAP)
OCA Sacramento Chapter is focused and committed to investing in the future of Asian American professional leaders. The National OCA Mentoring Asian American Professional (MAAP) program, with the generous sponsorship of UPS, will cultivate the next generation of Asian American professional leaders through mentoring, skills building, and networking. The program pairs Asian American professionals with experienced leaders in their field. As part of the mentoring process, participants will create a personal strategic plan allowing them to identify ways to achieve their professional as well as personal goals.
MAAP is a three month program with three group mentoring network sessions and four 1:1 mentoring meetings. Mentors and mentees are strongly encouraged to meet at least once a month to discuss specific career-building topics. Discussion guides will be provided for each topic.
