Whether you're a new member seeking advice on how to get started in business or a long-time member interesting in exploring new areas, mentoring is a great way to connect and learn from each other. DBC is full of amazingly talented members in a wide variety of career settings who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences.
Mission of DBC’s Mentoring Network: To connect DBC members with peer mentors for career enhancement in business and communications.
Goals of the Mentor Program:
• Provide every DBC member with the opportunity to self-match with a mentor who has expertise in his or her selected area/s of interest.
• Recruit and maintain a group of active mentor volunteers who represent a variety of practice areas in business and communications.
• Enable DBC members to have access to valuable business connections, career advice and encouragement.
• Ensure the relevance, helpfulness and functionality of the mentoring program through ongoing evaluation of feedback.
People of all experience levels can serve as mentors - it's such a rewarding way to get involved and help support your fellow members.
