[Eril-l] ALA Video Round Table Mentorship Program

[Miller, Erin]

Hello,
One of the services the ALA Video Round Table provides its members is a mentorship program. This program connects experienced media professionals with those who are new to the field, or who would benefit from advice and guidance beyond their local institutions.
All participants will have the opportunity to meet new people, share personal and professional insights, discuss networking and communication skills, and gain fresh perspectives on the work they do.
With various online and conference options, there will be plenty of opportunities for rich, rewarding conversations.
 Of course, a program like this needs volunteers to succeed. Please consider applying to be a mentor or mentee by filling out the form on the VRT Mentorship Program webpage: http://www.ala.org/vrt/mentorship-program  (See also VRT's New Member information page: http://www.ala.org/vrt/initiatives/vrtnewmembers/vrtnewmembers )
Matches will be made as quickly as possible, so mentors and mentees can plan a time to meet/communicate well before the ALA conference and maybe even arrange to meet there. Mentors should be VRT members, prepared to share their experiences with VRT and provide tips for navigating the conference, as well as more general information about the profession, according to mentees' interests.
If you are interested in the program, please fill out the application by March 15, 2017.
