The ARLIS/NA Yearlong Career Mentoring Program is recruiting mentors and we would love for you to consider volunteering to be a mentor! Please note due to the cancellation of the annual conference this years workshop will be offered virtually.  Date forthcoming and this session will be recorded if you are not able to attend. 

 

The program has matched dozens of art library professionals in successful mentoring relationships and contributes to the wonderful bonds we have with each other for which the Society is known.

  

Being a mentor has great benefits! In the words of a former mentor, 

 “As a mentor, I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I have really enjoyed getting to know my mentee and help her navigate the job search.  I am extremely impressed with the program and have very much appreciated being a part of it.”- Traci Timmons (former mentor)

Great mentors have different levels of experiences, skills, and backgrounds.  Have you been in a leadership role in your library or a professional organization such as ARLIS/NA? Have you led a project or other endeavor? Do you want to help someone else succeed and develop their full potential? Do you want to learn about new trends and what other libraries do? Then you would make a great mentor!

 

You will only need 1-2 hours a month!  And in that time, you’ll make a great impact for one of our colleagues and to our profession. You can develop your mentor/mentee relationship by Skype, FaceTime, phone calls, emails and more.

 

If you have interest in being a mentor but not sure what to do?We will help you!  The workshop focuses on the mentoring relationship for both mentors and mentees. Everyone benefits from new experiences and the members of the Mentoring Subcommittee will provide you with guidance, coaching, and support throughout the program.
