NMRT Mentoring Committee is pleased to announce that they are accepting applications for their Conference Mentoring Program for the ALA Annual Conference in June!
Attending your first ALA Conference?
Overwhelmed by all the programs and events available at Annual?
Sign up for a Conference Mentor today!
Do you have experience attending ALA conferences?
Do you find yourself wishing that someone would have been there to teach you all that you now know about attending conferences?
Do you find yourself wondering to whom you can impart all this hard-fought knowledge?
In that case, we have just the person!
Volunteer to be a Conference Mentor today!
The Conference Mentoring Program is open to all ALA members and is designed to connect a first time conference attendee with a ‘seasoned professional’ who can help them navigate the ALA Annual Conference.
Check out the guidelines and an online application form.
The application deadline is June 1, 2011 for first consideration.
Applicants will be matched with a Conference Mentor in June and communicate via email or telephone prior to the conference and then meet during the conference.
If you have questions, please contact elove at illinois dot edu.
Please feel free to share this invitation with your colleagues.
Please note that this mentoring program is not structured to provide career guidance, it is focused on issues related to the ALA Annual Conference. NMRT also offers a Career Mentoring program that will begin taking applications at the end of the summer. Please watch your email for an announcement regarding Career Mentoring later this year.
