Julia Chance Gustafson, The College of Wooster; Professional Development Committee Chair

After the July 2014 ALAO Board approval of a 2-year pilot ALAO Mentoring Program (www.alaoweb.org/Mentor), the ALAO Professional Development Committee debuted the program with a poster at the ALAO Annual Conference.  Registrations have been pouring in. Registration closes today, December 12; participants will be matched and notified by mid-January 2015. We are truly excited to see the number of registrants who have signed up and look forward to hearing participants’ responses when we send out our first round of assessment forms to all mentors and mentees. Since this is a 2-year pilot, you can expect to see at least one more official registrations in about a year, so stay tuned!
