The Diversity and Professional Development Committees are submitting a
proposal to co-sponsor an Ask ARLIS session on mentorship.  One speaker
will address the organization of a mentorship program, and another,
mentorship as a management issue (I think we have these two speakers
lined up).  We are still looking for a third speaker---someone who has
been mentored.  The literature shows that mentorship is an especially
valuable means to increase the professional success of minorities or
under-represented groups.  Would anyone in the membership be willing and
able to speak about this perspective from personal experience?   Please
contact me (soon) if you can help.  Thanks.

Tom
