National Mentoring Month, launched in 2002, is an annual campaign observed in January dedicated to acknowledging the transformative power of mentorship and its impact on people’s lives.

The initiative aims to unify and expand the mentoring movement, celebrate the significance of relationships, and raise awareness about the importance of mentorship.

Mentoring plays a crucial role in personal and professional development, fostering meaningful connections between mentors and mentees. National Mentoring Month serves as a platform to recognize and appreciate these valuable relationships, whether in the workplace, academia, or personal life.

Linda McMahon is an American business executive, political figure, and former professional wrestling promoter. She co-founded the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) alongside her husband, Vince McMahon, transforming it into a multibillion-dollar global entertainment company. She served as WWE's CEO and played a significant role in its rise from a regional wrestling promotion to an international powerhouse.

Currently, she serves as Chair of the Board and Chair of the Center for the American Worker at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), where she continues her involvement in political and economic advocacy. McMahon is originally from New Bern, North Carolina, and graduated from East Carolina University in 1969.
