Monthly Open Mee,ngs Suppor&ng the Mentor/Mentee Rela&onship April 2015
Introduc,on by Dawn Repoli -‐ Director of Program Management Facilitator of WINiT Mentor Program On behalf of my partners, Dee and Cindy and our en&re Mentoring and Coaching commi>ee, congratula&ons on being part of the WINiT Pilot Mentor Program! Our research indicates that the key to a successful Mentor/Mentee rela&onship is based on two fundamental components: STRUCTURE and CLARITY: Ensuring the &meline, roles and responsibili&es of the Mentor and the Mentee are clearly defined. ü This was covered in the launch of the program and the documenta&on and training modules provided to par&cipants. RESOURCES TO FACILITATE CONVERSATION: Tools are needed in order to ignite the conversa&ons and provide support and resources to the rela&onship. • This will be provided in the form of Open Mee,ngs and document distribu&on which will include exercises, thought-‐provoking topics, ar&cles, videos and a support group to provide all the tools needed regardless of where you are in your rela&onship.
