Membership Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the membership cost dependent on the number of participants served?
To provide organizations with the in-depth support conducive to implementing a Mobility Mentoring informed model on a larger scale, EMPath licenses use of the Mobility Mentoring model and tools based on the number of participants served. In an effort to keep membership costs attainable, as the number of participants served using a Mobility Mentoring informed model increases, the license will expand at a lower cost per participant.
What does auto-renewal mean for my membership?
Auto-renewal is applicable to all levels of membership. If you renew your membership, and pay online with a credit card, your membership will now auto-renew. Memberships will not auto-renew if you defer payment and request an invoice.
Auto-renewal will occur the day your membership expires. If you wish to cancel your membership, you must inform your Exchange Contact at least 30 days prior to your membership’s expiration date.
Does my organization have to plan to implement a Mobility Mentoring informed model to join the network?
Yes. Membership is available only to those organizations planning to implement a Mobility Mentoring® informed model.
What are the benefits for each level of membership?
For detailed information on the benefits included with each membership level, please see the Levels & Pricing section above.
What is Engage@EMPath?
Engage@EMPath is EMPath’s new Learning Management System (LMS). A Learning Management System is a software application used to deliver educational courses or training programs. As of July 2025, we offer two courses: Mobility Mentoring Foundations & Mobility Mentoring-Informed Supervision. Mobility Mentoring Foundations is designed for members to see Mobility Mentoring in action, reflect on what they have seen, learn about the intentional practice, and prepare to put it to practice. Mobility Mentoring-Informed Supervision will focus on supervision as a parallel process with engaging readings and videos to show supervisory meetings and discussion boards to learn from others in the course. We also have microcourses on a few of the Bridge pillars.
What outcomes and data will my organization share with the Exchange?
Exchange members are expected to contribute to the shared learning with the network. Currently, this takes the form of our annual member survey, focusing on implementation process questions & member satisfaction. We provide two consultation sessions with R&E to assist members in building their data collection & analysis tools. For further information, please contact us at theexchange@empathways.org.
