Mentoring Committee Report
On behalf of the Mentoring Committee, and with the superb efforts currently by Christina Wainwright and formerly by Ginny Evans-Perry, these are the statistics of the Mentoring Committee Mentor/Protégé Program for 2005-2006:
SURVEYS
46 Surveys/Evaluation forms were delivered/mailed on 8/21/06.
10 people responded.
6 of the 10 respondents said that they would participate again. [Thank you-thank you-thank you.]
MENTORING PAIRS
Of the 23 pairs in the files, only 2 are still actively meeting. Christina recently matched 3 new Mentor/Protégé pairs.
UNMATCHED PROTÉGÉS
There are currently 13 unmatched protégés, as of September. Kathleen has 4 more that will be added to this list, as of the end of October / early November. 7 protégés were removed from the original list due to inactivity or other commitments.
UNMATCHED MENTORS
There are 2 applications on file, and there are 4 respondents from the survey/evaluation form that may be asked to serve again as mentors. Kathleen has at least 4 to 6 more coming in the end of October mail to be matched for November.
Christine also has an inquiry pending with some archivists and their groups, because there are three people who expressed interest in mentoring in Archives.
A HUGE THANK YOU to all the CLA members who responded to Christina's call for mentors on the Round Table lists. We look forward to meeting your requests as quickly as possible.
We on the Mentoring Committee look forward to seeing everyone again at CLA in Sacramento. We have a new Chair (and returning Mentoring Committee member), Ms. Connie Costantino, and we hope to be doing a little tweaking of the Mentor/Protégé Program to compliment everyone's interests. We are also looking to add new members to our group, so consider this as an open invitation to join us for our committee meeting, set for Sunday, November 12, 2006, from 10:30am - 11:45am at the Sheraton Grand Hotel - Clark Room, in Sacramento.
As outgoing Chair, I want to thank all the past and current committee members for their tireless efforts on behalf of the Mentoring Committee and to their care and commitment to the continuation of the CLA Mentor/Protégé Project. I also want to thank the members who were extremely helpful with coordinating and running the Informational Interview Project. You ALL do GREAT work on behalf of CLA, both individually and together. It is an honor to be working with you.
Best to one and all!
