AFP Chicago Peer Mentoring Program - The Most Valuable Member Benefit
|
AFP Chicago's Peer Mentoring Program provides an outstanding benefit to newcomers in our industry: seasoned professionals or "Mentors" guide "Protégés" in career planning, provide ideas, and advice on specific areas of development work, open doors for job interviews, broaden their professional networks, and generally function as protégés' private cheerleaders. Arguably, the Peer Mentoring program is the single most valuable benefit of membership in AFP Chicago for development pros early in their career.
Read on to learn more about Peer Mentoring, including how you can get invloved this year.
