Project 2.3 - Support system for new Conferences

Current status: Completed, going through internal clearance

Pillar outcome: Establishing and Connecting Diverse Conferences

Progress

The Project Team has prepared documentation to support a national mentoring program and includes:

  • a description of a Mentor;
  • the qualities of a successful Mentor;
  • the qualities of a successful Mentee;
  • what expectations a Mentee should have of their Mentor;
  • the difference between a coach and a mentor; and
  • establishing a Mentor / Mentee process.

To develop these materials, the role of Bailly with Youth in the Society has been an excellent reference point.

The document is currently going through an internal clearance process, and is expected to be available to Members in August 2025.

Did you know? The term 'mentor' originates in ancient Greece, with Homer's classic poem, 'The Odyssey', in which Odysseus appoints a guardian called Mentor to look after his son in his absence, as a teacher, guide and friend.
