Topic: The Power of Mentoring
Facilitator: Deadra Welcome

Program Description:
In today’s federal environment with very tight budgets for training and development, we find there is a renewed interest in mentoring programs.  These programs enable organizations to provide learning and performance improvement services at a low/reasonable cost.  Over the years, mentor-protégé relationships have played a valuable role in the transfer of knowledge and the development of expertise for many organization development practitioners.  In this session, we will learn from a knowledgeable thought leader in the field some of the practical considerations around developing and maintaining a thriving mentoring program.  Our presenter will share benchmarked best practices for the process of creating a mentoring program.  She will also provide insight into the various types of mentoring programs, the keys to success and how to effectively monitor and evaluate these programs.
