Every path into EDGE is interview-vetted — mentee, mentor, or committee. Once you're in, you're part of the alumni community for life. Pick the path that fits where you are now.
You're an active real estate professional building toward AREAA leadership. The mentee path is the entry point most members consider first. Year-long cohort, monthly mentor meetings, capstone at year-end.
See the mentee path 02 — MentorTen seats as the design default — signal-driven flex year-over-year. Past AREAA presidents, senior chapter leaders, and industry executives. Mentor seats fill through renewal-first and chair-led headhunting at National Convention.
See the mentor path 03 — CommitteeThe committee runs the operational layer — Relationship Counselors, interviewers, social-media leads, sub-committee chairs. Many committee members start as cohort mentees and move up.
See the committee pathThe 10-seat default (signal-driven flex). The mentee interview rounds. The committee selection process. The vetting exists so that being part of EDGE actually means something — and so the community you join is one that did the work to know who you are.
The full EDGE program — how the cohort runs, how mentors are paired, how alumni stay involved.
