TVC WID Mentor Protege Program Print E-mail
Thursday, 15 July 2010

The Tennessee Valley Chapter of Women in Defense (TVC WID) is building a dynamic Mentor Protégé Program that will provide professional development and networking opportunities in support of Women in Defense. The program is being designed in a way that recognizes and respects the needs, expectations, and life-demands of professional women and those just starting their careers.

 

One of the essential steps in establishing a viable program is attracting a strong group of Mentors to anchor the first Cohort FY11 and we are now accepting brief bio/resumes from members who want to serve and are willing to commit to the following:

• A minimum of 4 hours per month investment per Protégé (maximum of two Protégés allowed per Mentor)
• A one year commitment to the Mentoring Program
• A desire to grow professionally through Mentor-Protégé relationships

Please express your interest by submitting a half page summary about yourself to include:

• Name
• Current Position
• Brief Career History (including years of professional experience)
• Length of Time in Huntsville
• Education
• Relevant Strengths, Skills, and Interests
• Why You Wish to Volunteer to be a Part of the FY11 TVC WID Mentoring Program

Please include your contact information and email your Bio directly to Paulette Risher at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it AND Kathy Broad at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it no later than July 25rd. Our first year FY11 planning is underway and we are excited about the Mentoring Program being a rewarding and fun effort sustained by the diversity and leadership you bring to WID.

NOTE: We are limiting the size of our first FY11 Mentor-Protégé Cohort so that we may develop a strong process that will be sustainable from year-to-year. Therefore, please respond by the deadline. Should you have questions, email Kathy or Paulette for an immediate answer. Whereas submitting a brief Bio does not guarantee you a Mentor role for FY11, it is an important step in the exciting professional journey with TVC WID Mentoring Program!
