Dealing with the Weeds
Where does this issue stem from? Why are we facing this problem?
What are some concrete, creative and realistic solutions to this challenge?
What role do I, as state president, have in implementing this solution?
Mentorship
“Mentoring is a process in which a more skilled or more experienced person, serving as a role model, teaches, sponsors, encourages, counsels and befriends a less skilled or less experienced person for the purpose of promoting the latter’s professional and/or personal development.”
“Mentoring functions are carried out within the context of an ongoing, supportive relationship between the mentor and mentee.”
- High degree of trust and mutual regard
- The mentor helps another person become what that person aspires to be
“Mentoring is probably the most powerful developmental process people can experience. And when it works, it develops two for the price of one.”
How do we incorporate the power and potential of mentoring in to AAUW? Where does it fit? What would it look like?
How might we use mentoring in an intentional way to address the issue of declining membership?
How might we use mentoring in an intentional way to address the issue of filling board positions?
