NYAVA is pleased to offer another benefit to its members:

• Mentors are available to all NYAVA members. Mentors provide consultations, to offer guidance and counseling, or to act as a sounding board for new and experienced volunteer administrators. Visit MemberClicks to identify a mentor who is a match to your current concerns and/or issues that you would like to discuss. This will bring you to the mentoring page and you will then see the roster link. Click on the link and it will download it onto our computer. Members can also contact the committee chair to identify a mentor.
• The Apprenticeship/Mentoring Committee offers New Members Breakfasts and Brown Bag Breakfasts (BBBs) throughout the year as a membership benefit (free). New Members Breakfast include a brief introduction to NYAVA, a time to discuss members' professional challenges, and network. BBBs provide an opportunity to address topics relevant to the industry, time to discuss members' professional concerns, and time to network with colleagues. See details under Calendar of Events.

Contact Jerry Pannozzo at Mentoring@nyava.org for more information or to request a mentor.
