This year we are excited to offer an additional piece to our mentoring program. Weekly, after-hours sessions will be held for those folks who need a little time to ask a question or walk-thru a process. Hosted by the AIMs, these sessions will be offered in virtual and in-person formats and feature timely topics that are relevant to your work. Additional guest facilitators will include experts from within BCS who will share the strategies that have helped them be successful.
Each session is scheduled for one hour, but it is intended to be very informal. Participants can jump in and out as they need to.
