ARLIS/NA Conference Mentor Program Baltimore, March 20-26, 2003 Don't be shy! You still have a chance to request a conference mentor or volunteer your services as a mentor in Baltimore. Here's your opportunity to learn the ropes from old conference hands, or to pass along your well-earned conference survival techniques to newcomers. Whether you are a seasoned ARLIS/NA conference veteran or a first (or second) timer, you have the opportunity to participate as a mentor or newcomer in the Baltimore Conference Mentor Program. If you are attending your first North American conference and are just beginning to develop your ARLIS network, the mentor program provides you with an experienced ARLIS/NA member to show you the ropes and introduce you to new colleagues. For ARLIS/NA veterans, this is a fine opportunity to make a significant impact in the Society on a personal level. Those requesting mentors will be matched with those volunteering to serve as mentors by the Program Coordinator, based on the information drawn from the application form. Both mentors and their newcomers will be notified before the conference. Mentors are expected to contact their mentees prior to the conference, meet with their mentee the first or second day at the conference, discuss the structure and workings of the Society, give conference-attending tips, and introduce their mentee to new colleagues whenever possible during the conference. Interested? Please fill out and submit the e-mailable application form found at the conference web site at http://www.arlisna.org/confreg2003/mentor_reg.htm by March 3, 2003.
