VOLUNTEER: CONFERENCE MENTORING PROGRAM

Conference Mentoring Program

If you are attending your first or second ARLIS/NA conference and are just beginning to develop your ARLIS/NA network, the mentor program provides you with an experienced ARLIS/NA member to show you the ropes and introduce you to new colleagues. For ARLIS/NA veterans, this is a fine opportunity to make a significant impact in the Society at a personal level.

Those requesting mentors will be matched with those volunteering to serve as mentors by the Program Coordinator based on the information drawn from the registration form. Both mentors and their newcomers will be notified before the conference.

Mentors are expected to contact their mentee prior to the conference, meet with their mentee the first or second day at the conference, discuss the structure and workings of the Society, give conference-attending tips, and introduce their mentee to new colleagues whenever possible during the conference.

Interested? Please fill out and submit THIS FORM by April 13, 2007.
