Mentoring For Leadership

A Mentor can be defined as a trusted friend, good listener, open to new ideas, understanding, someone who possesses patience, is knowledgeable, and has compassion to perform a simple, but vital, task linking to a positive experience for members.  Goals of the Mentoring for Leadership Program include:

Respect for the Past - Mentoring provides a look back on traditions of the Auxiliary.

Embrace the Present - Mentoring provides the insight to the current practices.

Plan for the Future - Mentoring creates knowledge helpful for leadership skills.

Every member can be a mentor by following these objectives:

• Create future leaders by providing guidance and support to all members.
• Enhance knowledge and educate on topics relating to the Auxiliary that will compliment all Programs.
• Ensure a positive member experience, embracing the diversity of member and how valuable every member is with a first and lasting impression.

As we begin a new Auxiliary year, lets all consider new members attending meetings by showing "Respect for the Past" in explaining the "why's" of how things are done in a certain format, for example - standing, sitting, etc. according to the raps of the gavel.
