Change the WORLD! PMINEO Speed Mentoring Spring 2017

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN TO MENTEES (STUDENTS, NEW COLLEGE GRADUATES, AND OTHERS INTERESTED IN PURSUING OR EXPLORING A PROJECT MANAGEMENT CAREER)

We invite you to join us as a Mentee in the PMINEO Speed Mentoring Spring 2017!

What is Speed Mentoring?

Speed mentoring applies the speed-dating concept to professional learning and development in an engaging format. This initiative gives participants the opportunity to network and learn from experienced advisors in short bursts of time. We hope you will like this format. It is high energy and lots of fun!

Your responsibilities as a Mentee

•  You will be assigned randomly to four different mentors for four rounds of talks.
• Prepare a brief (30-second) self-introduction or "elevator speech" to share with mentors and mentees.
• Arrive at the event between 6:30 and 6:45 PM to check-in and begin networking.
• Registration is limited, so follow up on the registration site if you need to cancel your space.
• Review the information packet distributed at the event to learn more about the mentors.
• Be prepared to ask questions and share experiences with mentors and other mentees.
• This is all about in-person networking, so take a timeout from your smart phone and social media.
• Dress professionally in "business casual" style.
• Bring business cards to share with your mentors and fellow mentees.

Overview of Event

Mentors will be professionals in a variety of industries; many have a PMI credential, and associated with PMINEO.

A member of the Student Leadership Development team of the local chapter will open the event with an explanation of the rules and introduce the mentors. At the closing, we will invite two mentors and two mentees to share their experiences.

Each mentor will participate in four rounds with 5–10 mentees in each session. Mentees will move from table to table to meet with different mentors based on their topics of interest.

Each mentor will share one pearl of wisdom, and each mentee will give a quick (30 second) introduction and ask one question.
