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? For the guidelines and an online application form
please visit http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/rts/nmrt/oversightgroups/comm/mentor/conferenceMentorApp.cfm
The application deadline is May 15,
2010 for first consideration.
Applicants will be matched with a
Conference Mentee in June and communicate via email or telephone prior to the
conference and then meet during the conference.
If you have questions, please contact
the NMRT Mentoring Committee at [log in to unmask]
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.
