The International Alliance for Mentoring is an interconnected learning organization, a conscious Open Space Organization. An Open Space Organization has minimal structure through a set of givens, that are just enough to provide appropriate structure for creativity, productivity, wonder, imagination and results. 1. The purpose of IAM is to influence the future of humanity in becoming a harmonious place by linking or interconnecting individuals and organizations who seek higher consciousness, higher awareness, highest good, highest learning and highest joy through mentoring. Within IAM, mentoring is defined as encouraging service in the world based on truth and facilitating compassion, tolerance, self-love, mutual respect and joy. 2. IAM is a network of individuals and organizations and, as such, has no governing body. There are no membership dues.
