Discussions / Member mentorship

« Last post by Athena Philips on July 28, 2019, 09:43:57 PM »

What are chapters doing to mentor their members, if anything?

What do you define as mentorship?

What can we do to improve this?

Discussions / Encouraging Conference youth attendance.

« Last post by Athena Philips on July 28, 2019, 09:41:05 PM »

How can we increase the attendance of young people at the Conference?

This can be student and young professionals/public sector.

Are Chapters willing to provide scholarships?

Can we coordinate funding between chapters?

Where should chapters seek young people to encourage?

Other questions or out of the box thinking? Go for it!

Hi All,

Please find the August meeting agenda, roundtable discussion topics, and a template worksheet on “How to use Google Drive” (by Tayler Figueroa) attached.

Again, if you haven’t done so already, please don’t forget to talk to your Chapters about the two discussion topics posted on the forum/Facebook.
Please post your Chapter’s written responses either:

On the forum:
Chapter Mentorship: https://www.forum.fnps.org/index.php/topic,1609.0.html
Increasing Youth Attendance at the Conference: https://www.forum.fnps.org/index.php/topic,1608.0.html

Reminder:  The Google Drive Workshop is at 7pm:Please bring your laptops or tablets, an inquisitive, open mind, and leave your inhibitions behind! This will be a structured tutoring session, with experienced Google users assisting inexperienced users. Our goal here is to get people to feel more comfortable and confident in using Google Drive. We humbly request experienced Google users to volunteer their time so that we can have a 1:1 tutor to student ratio.

Please indicate if you want to/need to learn more about Google Drive, or if you are able to help tutor others in the following poll: https://doodle.com/poll/ugp7khvfn548axy3

If there are any comments, questions, or concerns, please let us know:
