Upper Keys BPW launches its first-ever mentoring program
Our March 2019 meeting had a two-pronged focus -- the first, a speed-networking event enjoyed by more than 30 members 
and women from the community, was designed to mix up the usual "sitting together with my friends" groups that happens so frequently.
We wanted to make sure our members got to know each other on a deeper level, and based on the feedback, it was a tremendous success -- one we plan to repeat again in the future, so don't despair if you couldn't make it to the first one.
The second focus of the program was to encourage participants to look at who they might like to mentor, or be mentored by.
Our Mentoring Committee -- Lesly Lopez, Jill Kuehnert, Sandi Bisceglia, BPW President Ilja Chapman and Jackie Harder, VP of Development -- spent many hours researching best practices, creating the mentoring program structure, devising the mentoring application form and agreement and more.
We have added the mentorship packet we created for anyone who is interested in mentoring (either as a mentor or mentee) to give you an idea of the possibilities when you connect with someone you can help, and be helped by in return.
Click here for the packet, and let us know how BPW can help make your mentoring a success!
