Mentorship: Pathway To Career Advancement & Professional Fulfillment

A survey of Fortune 500 employees revealed that 76% of these employees believe mentors are important but only 37% have one, and that people with mentors are happier in their work than those without. Are you new to fundraising or in a new fundraising role? Are you a fundraising team leader seeking solutions for retaining excellent performers and up-and-comers, or a CEO new to fundraising accountability? Would you value a trusted and more experienced leader (other than your boss) as a sounding board? Milton and Diana, who were matched through the Greater Dallas Chapter's mentor program in 2019, will discuss their motivations and mindsets for prioritizing mentorship and share what has made their mentor-mentee journey work. Your takeaways will include:

• What are the effective characteristics of a mentor/mentee.
• How the mentoring process works.
• How success can be measured.
