You can launch a mentorship program, make hundreds of matches, and still have very little to show for it six months later. That's the gap between offering mentorship and mentorship actually working, and it's the thing our founder Tatia Zuloaga dug into for HR Tech Edge. A match is just an introduction. What decides whether it becomes a real, lasting relationship is what the program does after that first meeting. The data is pretty clear: most programs complete fewer than half their sessions, while the top performers complete far more. The difference isn't budget or luck. It's structure.

Know someone who'd get something out of this? Tag them below. Tag a woman in tech who belongs in that room. Tag the person you always tell "you need to meet more people."

Speed Networking is back, and this one's open to everyone. On Thursday, September 24th, we're hosting a Meet & Greet: a fast, friendly way to connect with members, mentors, and mentees across the Upnotch community, one short conversation at a time. Here's how it works: you'll meet several people one-on-one for a few minutes each. Enough time to make a real connection, not so long it gets awkward. Come to expand your network, pick up a fresh perspective, or just meet people who are up to interesting things. New to Upnotch or here since the early days, everyone's welcome. Thursday, September 24th 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM PT On Zoom Register here: https://lnkd.in/dUgHtx4s Who would you want to meet? Tag someone below. #Networking #SpeedNetworking #Mentorship #CommunityBuilding #Upnotch

Most communities run on a handful of people. The same champions organizing events, welcoming newcomers, mentoring everyone, keeping it all alive. Everyone else watches from the sidelines. That's not a strong community. That's a fragile one. Healthy communities constantly turn observers into contributors, by making participation feel accessible and giving newcomers a clear, low-pressure way in. If engagement is concentrated in a few people, adding more names to the database won't fix it. Tatia Zuloaga, CEO and Co-Founder of Upnotch, wrote about this for NonProfit PRO.
