I’m a Mentor, She’s a Mentor, He’s a Mentor…
January 3rd, 2006 by Steven M. CohenWouldn’t you like to be a mentor too?
We need you! If you are a public library leader and experienced national conference goer, read on. PLA needs 15 public library leaders to serve as mentors to ALA Spectrum Scholars who will be attending the upcoming PLA National Conference in Boston. As you may know, PLA has provided travel grants to Spectrum Scholars to attend the conference so that they are introduced to public librarianship and to provide networking opportunities for them.
This is an unstructured mentoring program. Mentors are encouraged to introduce themselves in advance of the conference (via phone or e mail) and to answer any pre conference questions and then will meet up with scholars at conference during the New Member Reception, Wednesday, March 22, 6:00 p.m. After the new member reception, we hope that you will touch base with your Spectrum Scholar occasionally during the conference to ensure that they are having a successful experience.
Please let me know by Friday, Jan. 20, if you are willing to serve as a mentor during the PLA conference. I will provide information on the Spectrum Scholars who will be attending conference including theirve mail addresses. Thank you.
