Last week, I was excited to roll out GovLoop’s brand new, first-of-its-kind, government-wide mentoring program. In just one week, over 70 mentors have signed up! Thank you to everyone who’s signed up so far – and it’s not too late for more mentors to come on board. We’d love to have 150 mentors on the ready by the time we open it up to mentees in tandem with the Next Generation of Government Summit so sign up and spread the word!
I’ve also had the opportunity to interact with other folks in government who have been running agency-based mentor programs. In particular, I was excited to learn about the Federal Mentoring Roundtable and the fact that we have a group on GovLoop dedicated to Mentoring Program Coordinators. Well, the Federal Mentoring Roundtable meets a couple times each year to network and learn from authors and other mentoring coordinators. Here’s some information about the next event:
