>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
