Come join in on a dynamic panel discussion with three experienced mentors! They will be sharing insights on how to find a great mentor and mentee fit. We know it can be challenging for mentees to reach out and ask a mentor to connect and it can also be challenging for mentors to gauge the “fit” of a mentoring request. This discussion will be designed to help give tools to help! Thank you to our panel members; Antonina Robles, David Boutin & Carlos Avila RSVP HERE ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gRRChsUY
