Investing yourself will allow others to pros per which is why we are launching the new Mentorship Program. Our chapter is extremely fortu nate to have individuals who over the years as members, developed their craft, built relationships, advanced pro fessionally and created their own career path. The WLC (Women’s Leadership Committee) recognizes them as a resource along with the need to guide new members in our industry. For this reason, the WLC has created the CAI-NJ Mentorship Program. Through an application process, the chapter will be invit ing members to participate as either mentors or a mentee. The application will identify the skills, resources, and advice desired by the mentees to achieve specific career goals, pairing them with mentors that will communicate what they have learned, and establish relationships to enhance and shape their careers. The program will be launched on August 1st begin ning with the mentor application process, which will be available this month.
