We are pleased to announce that WEN is launching a Mentoring Program. This Program will provide an opportunity for WEN members to enrich their careers by expanding their networks, growing their knowledge and diversifying their experience. WEN members who wish to be mentored (“mentees”) will identify specific learning goals and will be matched in mentoring circles with WEN mentors who will work with them to achieve those goals. Mentors and mentees will work together from October 2007 to March 2008. A team chaired by the WEN Vice-President will match WEN members who have applied to be mentees in mentoring circles with interested WEN mentors who best meet their learning goals.
