MEMA Launches Mentorship Program for its Employees

The new program, called “MentorME,” will kick off with five members of the senior leadership team serving as mentors.

MEMA, the Vehicle Suppliers Association, has launched a mentorship program for MEMA employees.

The program is designed to help build professional skills to positively impact their role at MEMA and careers in the automotive industry. The new program, called “MentorME,” will kick off with five members of the senior leadership team serving as mentors.  

The six-month program will include one-on-one mentoring sessions as well as professional-development courses for both mentors and mentees. Focus areas include managing up, presentation skills and the art of networking.

“MEMA is able to provide solid value to our members because of the talent we invest in internally,” says Ann Wilson, senior vice president, government affairs, MEMA, and one of the inaugural MentorME mentors. “MentorME will guide participants toward professional development that will help them in their current career and beyond.”

The 2023 MEMA MentorME mentors are: 

  • John Chalifoux – Chief sustainability officer, MEMA, and COO, MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers
  • Julie Fream – President and CEO, MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers
