Dear Colleagues, The New Members Round Table (NMRT) Mentoring Committee is pleased to announce that they are accepting applications for their Conference Mentoring Program for the ALA Annual Conference in June! 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! 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. Volunteer to be a Conference Mentor today! Interested in volunteering as a Conference Mentor?
