I am writing to inform you about the mentoring program in hopes that you can help pass it on to students and young professionals who could benefit from the program. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The program will take place at the 2014 National Convention. It is mainly intended for students (high school or college) as well as young professionals who could use a mentor during their first Convention, as well as mentors (college students or young professionals) who have been through the ropes of national conventions and can give the mentees a hand. Mentees and mentors will also be matched based on their career goals. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">There is a meeting on the first night of Convention at 6:00 P.M., and there will be a meeting later in the week. During these meetings, mentees and mentors will have a chance to network. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The link to both the mentor and mentee forms is at <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://nabslink.org/content/2014-national-convention-mentoring-program">http://nabslink.org/content/2014-national-convention-mentoring-program</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thank you and I hope you can pass this on to someone who can benefit from this.
