SLA-SCC Mentor Program Open House, September 30th, 6pm.

Please join us for a relaxing evening of networking over a light dinner and wine, to learn about the SLA-SCC Mentor Program. Doris Helfer, winner of the Rose L. Vormeker Award for her "exceptional services in area of mentoring students and/or working professionals" will treat us to an inspiring presentation on Mentoring, and our Mentor Program Chair, Maria Brahme, will be on hand to provide more information about the program. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Have you considered becoming a mentor? Even if you recently started your career, you have something to offer to those who are still in school or recently graduated. Are you a student or recent grad who is looking for a little bit of professional guidance? Let's meet up and get connected! This event is FREE (yes, including dinner! and wine!) and it is open to non-members. In order to become a Mentor, you must become a member of SLA, but non-members are welcome to attend the Open House to learn more about the program and membership. In order to become a Mentee, membership is not required but it is encouraged. There is no need to commit to the Mentor Program to attend this informative session.
