The Green Bay Packers Mentor-Protégé Program currently is seeking mentor and protégé applicants for its eighth year of partnerships to foster business growth, economic development and job creation in Brown County and the surrounding areas.

Protégé companies in the program will be matched with mentor companies that can provide technical, managerial, financial or other guidance to improve their competitive standing. The program is open to all businesses, with a focus on minority-, woman-, veteran-, service-disabled veteran- or disabled person-owned businesses. The mentor-protégé relationship requires at least a 12-month commitment.

A meet-and-greet for current and prospective applicants will be held at the south end of Lambeau Field, with registration beginning at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 1. Attendees should enter through the Shopko Gate on the south end of the stadium. The event will allow protégé companies to meet with potential mentors and discover if a match would be beneficial. To RSVP for the event, email aff@affresearch.com.
