ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Each year, the DPC Mentor Program pairs three established oil and gas industry leaders with 15 up-and-coming leaders to provide insight, guidance, and advice regarding their professional career development. The goals of the program include: 

  • Bridging the workforce gap through a mentoring relationship to transfer knowledge, resources and life experiences.
  • Help mold future oil & gas/ energy industry leaders in a manner not provided by any other club or association.
  • Create lasting relationships for both mentors and mentees through meaningful two-way dialogue.
  • Increase Denver Petroleum Club member engagement by providing young professionals direct access to successful industry leaders.
The DPC assists with reaching these goals by providing educational lunches, networking events, and the opportunity for the mentors and mentees to work in the community together. If you have additional questions about the program, please contact us at 720-926-9196.

COST OF PROGRAM

The cost for the Mentor Program is $600 in addition to membership dues. If you are a current member, your membership will be pro-rated to expire 12/31 of that year. Non-members will be required to complete an application and pay the one-year membership dues ($275). Individuals receiving benefits from a corporate membership will only need to pay membership dues if the company decides not to renew their membership during the program year. 

FAQs

The program runs February-December each year, with one meeting or event scheduled per month. When applying, we ask for two reference letters; these can come from whomever you like but they both should be able to speak about their experiences in working with you professionally. References should explain the candidate’s leadership potential and why they should be part of the DPC Mentor Program. Include contact information for each reference author.
