Mentors Needed for AABANY Mentorship Program
August 15 is the deadline for applications to the AABANY Mentorship Program. We have received a large number of responses from mentees. Thanks to all who registered. We would like as much as possible to match one mentor to one mentee and to that end, we are putting out a call to mentors. Thanks to the mentors who have already signed up. We need more to apply, so if you have not yet done so, please do so before the Fall Conference on September 17. If you have done so, please encourage others to apply.
As of 11:59 pm on Monday, August 15, we will be closing the applications from mentees while leaving the form open to mentors. The final deadline will be September 17, at which time we plan to introduce the mentors and mentees to each other during the cocktail reception at the conclusion of the Fall Conference.
If you have any questions about the Mentorship Program please contact Julie Kwon, the Program’s Coordinator.
