Chapter Mentor Program
Chapter Mentors are a group of highly experienced NAVHDA members throughout the US and Canada who are willing and able to act as resources for any NAVHDA member or NAVHDA chapter. These mentors can provide input on chapter and training day organization, organizing and preparing for NAVHDA tests, best practices for chapter development and success, where and when to buy and keep training birds, creative ways to find new training property, etc. While we anticipate that these mentors would be most helpful to new or recently established chapters, it’s always a good idea for even long-established chapters to get a feel for how things are done elsewhere.
If you’re interested in serving your region in this role, please sign up on the forthcoming volunteer drive!
The updated program will include more detail on expertise. However, for now feel free to reach out to the list below if you are in need of assistance. This will eventually be replaced with the updated Chapter Mentor list.
For more information about the program, contact our Director of Promotions – Jason Rice, or reach out to the NAVHDA office.
