Picture Yourself Moving Up
with the 2010 Mentoring Program

Wednesday, March 10
11:45 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Hosted by the
CPRS Administrators Section

This program is designed to offer students and entry-level parks & recreation staff the opportunity to be mentored by a professional in their field of interest. We’ll start with a meet & greet session that evolves into a conversation with the group about resume development for public employees. Next will be lunch in the exhibit hall with other program participants. After lunch, the mentor will introduce the exhibit hall and its vendors to the mentee. This is an opportunity to learn from the vendors a variety of solutions to job-related opportunities.

Minimum and maximum in effect.
