Call for SAA Mentors

Dear Colleagues,

As you might know, the Society of American Archivists runs a Mentoring Program for its members.  Information about the program can be found here: http://www2.archivists.org/membership/mentoring

SAA's Mentoring Program is designed to bring together members with shared interest in different aspects of the archival profession.  The goal is to cultivate career development and communication between members with areas of expertise and members who want to build their knowledge within those areas.

Think you don't have any expertise to share?  Some of our colleagues waiting for mentors are just getting started in the profession and are looking for advice on schools, classes, career trajectory, resume development and interviewing skills.

There are a number of archival students who are looking for general advice in all aspects of archives.

If you feel you have something to offer our newest colleagues, please consider signing up to be a mentor.  You can submit an application to the program here: http://www2.archivists.org/membership/mentoring/application (click on "Apply to be a mentor")

For those of you who have been mentors or proteges, thank you for participating in the program!

Thank you for your consideration,
Michelle Ganz
SAA Mentoring Program
