3rd Annual BRASS Mentor Program - Kick Off Event

  • 1.  3rd Annual BRASS Mentor Program - Kick Off Event

    Posted Sep 26, 2024 06:33 PM

    Hello Business Reference Community, 

     

    Apply to participate in the business librarian mentoring program, organized by the BRASS Membership Committee! This program connects experienced business librarians with those new to the profession and those looking to build new skills. The BRASS Mentoring Program looks to form professional connections, increase occupational competency, promote BRASS and support new librarians tasked with business reference or research support. Mentoring also provides an opportunity to welcome new business librarians to the profession.

    No BRASS membership required, the program is perfect for anyone currently practicing business librarianship.

     

    The program runs October 2024-June 2025. For more information, check out the Mentoring Program Document & FAQs.

     

    We will host the Kick Off Event October 2nd. At this event, the Co-Chairs of the Membership Committee will present the purpose, guidelines, and expectations of the program.
