Mentoring Program Seeking Mentors and Mentees


Do you want to share your experience and expertise by encouraging and 
nurturing a future LLAMA leader?

Do you want to develop your leadership and management skills by learning 
from a current LLAMA leader?


If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you are just the 
right person to participate in an exciting 10 month formal mentoring 
program.

The LLAMA mentoring program is designed to encourage and nurture current 
and future leaders and to develop and promote outstanding leadership and 
management practices. Mentees in the program benefit from mentor 
experience in areas such as career planning, job assistance, shaping 
careers, and succession planning. Mentors provide training and guidance 
for mentees, sharing leadership and management skills and practices.

Mentees and mentors are supported as part of a formal and structured 
program that is designed with an eye on sustainability, legacy, realism, 
structure, expectations, and an emphasis on professional development. 
Data collection and evaluative instruments have been developed and are 
used to ensure that feedback from participants contributes to and 
improves the program.

Mentee participants must be current or potential LLAMA members. 
Candidates may self nominate or may be nominated by others. Mentees are 
required to attend the Annual Conference in Chicago to participate in 
the program’s formal orientation and to meet their mentor.

Mentor participants must be active members within LLAMA. Mentors are 
required to attend the Annual Conference in Chicago to participate in 
the program’s formal orientation and to meet their mentee.

Both mentors and mentees submit biographical and career information to 
assist in the matching process. Matched duos meet at a reception and 
orientation during the annual conference and continue their mentoring 
relationship throughout the 10 month period following the conference.

The program is limited to 25 mentee/mentor duos per year, so early 
application is encouraged.

Applications for mentee and mentor candidates are being accepted through 
Dec. 15, 2008 and can be accessed online or via this TinyURL:

contact Neely Tang, Chair of the Mentoring Committee, at nt243_at_cornell.edu.
