Organized by MLA’s Membership Committee, Colleague Connection is a mentoring program pairing new members with experienced members or fellow new colleagues.
If you are a new member, connect with an experienced colleague or a fellow newbie. If you are an experienced member with decades of experience or just a few years, you also benefit by helping a new colleague navigate a new organization and profession while expanding your professional network.
The virtual program runs from October to January. Pairs are encouraged to meet at their convenience at least once a month.
Key dates:
-
- To ensure a connection, please sign up by EOD Friday, September 30
- Participants will learn of their pairing by Friday, October 14
- An introductory gathering will be held Tuesday, October 18 at 1:00 pm central
- The wrap-up event is scheduled for Wednesday, January 25 at 1:00 pm central
