Application Process & Expectations

Either scan/send or email completed forms to Mentoring Committee Chair, Mike Stratford ([email protected]). The Committee will match pairs based on your responses. Complete Program Guidelines will be emailed or picked up at the September chapter meeting. The relationship is meant to be career specific and is not a consulting relationship. Mentees are asked not to use the program for job seeking. The Mentor is responsible for facilitating all mentor sessions . While there is no hard-fast rule, sessions should last no more than an hour and no more than once or twice a month. Mentors are encouraged to recommend appropriate resources (i.e., courses, workshops, educational opportunities, publications, books, etc.)

We recommend that each Mentor advise his/her employer about participation in the program.. If unable to schedule a first meeting or have any other questions, please notify Mike. Each Mentor agrees to complete a brief survey at the conclusion of the mentorship period. An awards ceremony will conclude the program.
