Other than the annual membership fee, and thanks to the generous support of Healthy Image, there are no additional program fees planned at this time. Future years will be determined based on sponsorships.

Mentors and Mentees are responsible for any food, drink, or transportation costs associated with individual meetings and are not reimbursable by Fusion Five.

We understand that sometimes schedules will conflict, but this program is for your benefit so please try and attend all events and meetings. If a conflict does occur, reach out to your mentor and let them know as soon as possible.

The only requirement we have is that Mentors meet with their Mentees a minimum of once a month. The meetings can be at any time during the day and at any public and/or professional location as agreed upon between the Mentors and Mentees. Groups are more than welcome to meet more frequently if they wish. We would prefer meetings be in-person when possible, but do understand if virtual formats are required.

Unfortunately no, a committee will determine the matches, but we will use the information provided to us in your application to make the best match possible for both individuals and the mentors.

No. This is an opportunity for you to grow your knowledge and develop personally and professionally. Please do not attempt to sell or solicit your business or your product with your Mentor or your other mentees. Doing so may result in you being asked to leave the program.
