[Web4lib] NMRT Conference Mentoring now taking applications!

[Samantha Schmehl Hines]

Dear Colleagues,

The New Members Round Table (NMRT) Mentoring Committee is once again
seeking mentors for their Conference Mentoring Program at the ALA
Annual Conference in June!

The Conference Mentoring Program is a great way to network with
individuals who are new to the profession.  It is open to all ALA
members and is designed to connect a first time conference attendee
with a 'Seasoned Professional' who can help them navigate the ALA
Annual Conference.


Do you remember being overwhelmed at your first ALA Conference?

Do you consider yourself a Conference Pro now?


This is your opportunity to help a new professional learn the ropes....

Sign up today to be a Conference Mentor!

What better way to give back to the profession, build leadership
skills, and reminisce on those early days than to be a mentor - plus
it looks great on a resume or a tenure dossier!

Interested in being a mentor?  Please complete an online application
form at www.ala.org/ala/nmrt/comm/conferenceMentorApp.htm.

Additional information about the Conference Mentoring Program is also
available on the NMRT web site at www.ala.org/NMRT .  The application
deadline is May 5th, 2006.

If you have questions, please contact the NMRT Mentoring Committee at
nmrt_mentoring at yahoo.com.   Please feel free to share this invitation
with your colleagues.



Thank you,



Jennifer Cella

Co-chair, NMRT Mentoring Committee
