HBA ATLANTA PRESENTS

2016 HBA Atlanta Group Mentoring Program and Kickoff Event

Event description
The objective of the HBA Atlanta mentoring program is to harness the power of the group to provide guidance, resources and support to mentees who set and work toward career goals. Mentoring takes place in groups, where one mentors is matched with four to five mentees who share a common area of focus. Each group functions independently and sets its own agenda, times and locations, typically meeting once a month. The program runs from March 2016 - November 2016.
 
If you are looking to accomplish any of the following, this program is designed for you:
• Build a community of women
• Create strong peer networks
• Establish and work toward foster accomplishing career goals
• Teach or learn critical leadership skills
• Give back to other women in your community and your profession
• Find out how others handle work-related challenges similar to what you’re facing

Mentee or Mentor?
As a mentee you should be able to devote the time to fully participate in, and help lead your group. This is a mentee-driven program, and the more you put in, the more you will gain. Plan to devote at least three to four hours each month to really engage in, and benefit from this program. Be ready to invest in yourself, take stock, set goals, stretch yourself, and be willing to accept advice and support from seasoned healthcare executives.

As a mentor you are ready to give back to others and share your knowledge and requisite professional experience (and know that you will gain a lot from the process, too). As a mentor, you do not provide all the answers, but help your mentees make progress toward their goals by identifying resources, asking questions, offering guidance, giving feedback, and sharing your experiences and perspective. Plan to devote at least four to six hours each month to support your mentees.

Mentee Fee: $125
Mentor Fee: $0

Space is limited to 50 registrants.

• A mentoring kickoff event on March 10, 2016
