Congratulations to the GovLoop Mentors Program Finalists!
As many of you know, the GovLoop Mentors Program is a first-of-its-kind, government-wide initiative that connects public sector professionals across agencies and at every level (federal, state and local). This free program responds to the unprecedented need for effective knowledge transfer and leadership development throughout government.
The Spring 2012 program was a highly selective process, as only 100 mentees were accepted to participate. They were selected based off of the following criteria: completeness of the application, track record of success, career goals, specific mentoring outcomes, and overall clarity of writing/quality of the application.
