President's Message

The Value of a Mentor

Abstract

At the core of any professional society is the charge to aid the membership in its professional development. A few years ago, our Society created the position of director of mentoring, research and development. Currently, Steve Mattern serves that role. Steve took on the program initiated by Mike Allocco and has established the mentoring program. He is now seeking members interested in participating, including mentors, as well as mentees. I believe that participating in a mentoring program is a tremendous benefit to any person’s professional development.
