    >BECOME A PART OF THE VRA CONFERENCE MENTOR PROGRAM
    >
    >Visual Resources Association Conference
    >Chicago, February 27- March 3, 2001
    >
    >Each year the VRA has many members who are attending their first or second
    >conference. Even with user-friendly conference programs a newcomer may have
    >questions and the need for advice from an old-timer. We would like to match
    >a seasoned conference-attendee (mentor) with such a first-timer.
    >
    >Prerequisites to be a mentor are to have attended one or more recent VRA
    >conferences and be reasonably well acquainted within the Association. And
    >the only prerequisite for newcomers is to be a first (or second) time
    >conference attendee. Mentors will be asked to make contact with their Mentee
    >before coming to the conference. At that time arrangements can be made to
    >meet for coffee or lunch, etc. on the first or second day to talk about the
    >Association and give conference survival tips. Mentors will introduce new
    >members to others at any and all events to help that person build his or her
    >own network within the Association. In addition, both Mentees and their
    >Mentors are invited to the “New Members and New Conference Attendees
    >Breakfast” held at the Conference, Thursday, March 1.
    >
    >This is a fun and collegial program that has had much success and positive
    >feedback. Both Mentors and Mentees have found the program greatly enhances
    >their conference experience. For more information on our organization,
    >conference and the Mentor program, please visit the VRA website at
