"Building a Culture of Mentorship in Your Club"
March 22 (8:30-9:30 PM)

Learn from a panel of experienced Club Leaders who will discuss how to start building a Mentorship Program, or enrich an existing Mentorship Program in your Club, in order to maximize Pathways progress, acclimate members to your club culture, assist with speech and role preparation. Such programs are the key to long term growth and strength.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Once registered, you should be able to attend any of the meetings. It's best to participate as a video call and call in about 5 minutes before, just to ensure it's all working for you. Call or Text me by phone at that point with problems. I recommend attending by video participation for best results, as viewing the slides and seeing each other is helpful to the process. A copy of the PowerPoint slides can be made available upon request. Please contact me with any questions/problems.
