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:
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.
Bulletins have been combined with Chief of Staff/Extension this year.
