Dear Potential Mentor:

In alignment with our highest priority for growth – to develop the depth, breadth, and talent of our collegiate members– we are implementing Brother 2 Brother, a mentoring program that pairs emerging leaders with experienced leaders in our organization.

Through Brother 2 Brother we hope to:

• Help increase the probability for each participant’s success in our organization.

• Foster an open, supportive environment that welcomes and embraces leadership and growth development.

• Continue to create an organization that develops leadership talent by having leaders set the example.

We are soliciting potential mentors to participate in the program who meet the following criteria: (demonstrate a passion for leadership and growth development, willing to commit to a mentee for 1 year, serve in roles such as but not limited to, Senior Executives, Board of Directors, Professional services, Thought leaders/ Influencers, Business Owner/ Entrepreneurship, Non-Profit leadership, Military/ Government, Retired Sigma Leadership (Current and past national offices)

Leaders teaching leaders is our philosophy, and mentoring is a way to encourage that process. Mentee/mentor partners work together over a twelve-month period, holding confidential discussions concerning the developmental goals the mentee has set. They are in charge of scheduling their meetings and generally will spend about one to three hours a month together.

Over the next few days, collegiate brothers who meet the program criteria will receive information about the program and will be encouraged to submit their application. In order to make effective matches, we will invite more potential mentors than the number of mentees who will participate. With a large pool of mentors, we can best match each mentee’s needs to the skills and experience of a specific mentor. However, this also means that not all potential mentors will be paired with a partner at this time.

Please recognize the commitment and confidentiality that is required of mentees and mentors in this program. We thank you in advance for your support. If you have any questions, please reach out to your respective Regional Program Director for Education.

Sincerely,

Darryl A. Anderson, Sr

Executive Director
