Last Chance to Join 2017 PNCWA Mentorship Program

Calling all future mentors and protégés! PNCWA's mentoring program, which encourages members to connect with and learn from one another, wants you to join! PNCWA provides a mentoring guide and matches mentors and protégés based on shared interests, profession, and region. The program gives mentors an opportunity to pass on their wealth of knowledge and experience to help protégés develop professional skills and goals. 

The survey for the 2017 mentoring program survey closes May 1, 2017. We will begin pairing soon thereafter. After mentors and protégés are matched, they will confirm the selection, commit to their partnership, and then the mentoring can begin! Teams are encouraged to meet for at least an hour every other month. It is up to the mentor and protégé to determine what they would like to talk about and what they would like to develop (e.g., list of goals, career map). Mentor/protégé teams are encouraged to meet up at the 2017 PNCWA Annual Conference in October.

► To participate as a mentor or protégé, fill out the online survey here:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2017_PNCWA_Mentoring. BOTH mentors AND protégés need to complete the survey.

The mentoring program is just one of the many benefits of being a PNCWA member and presents a great opportunity for our members to connect with and learn from one another. Feedback has been positive over the past few years and we are passionate about continuing to make this program successful. So, if you’re interested in participating, please take the survey (link above) and we’ll get you paired up with a mentor or protégé.
 
Similar to last year, we’re encouraging mentoring teams to complete their sessions prior to the PNCWA Annual Conference in October. We’ll then release the survey for 2018 after the conference. The conference is also a great time to set up an in-person meeting if you have been communicating with your team member long distance.
