One of the benefits of a networking organization is gaining from the experiences of those who have been in the field for a long time. But making the right connections can be challenging without a little assistance. ADO’s mentoring program can help. We match up experienced professionals with those looking for guidance or advice. The program is very flexible, based on the individuals involved. It can include short meetings, phone calls, e-mails, job search assistance, or even job “shadowing.” ADO’s Mentoring Chair, Gwen Salmo, is a pro at making the perfect matches! Contact Gwen at gwensalmo@friendsofkaren.org to sign on as mentor or mentee.
