NEXT Generational Leadership Programs & Events

Mentorship Program

Program Purpose:
Norman Next’s mission is to attract, retain and propel the best and brightest young professionals in Norman.  In an effort to support that mission we have created the Mentorship Program to connect young professionals with established members of the Norman community.  The main focus is to connect young professions with established members of our community... whether a person seeks to gain insight into their current career path or pursue opportunities to become more connected with business & industry professionals in general.

Program Kick-Off:
Norman Chamber of Commerce on August 10, 2010 from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.
This is the first opportunity for mentor and mentee to meet and establish their goals.  All further meetings will be coordinated by the participants.

Program Guidelines & Important Dates:
Mentor and mentee will meet regularly, attend an update meeting on September 30, 2010 and the wrap-up session on November 18, 2010.  Examples of possible interactions would include lunch, job shadowing, introduction to an organization such as Rotary, happy hour, etc.  The goal is to provide an opportunity for mentee to gain insight into career paths, community, and/or professional growth.  Most critically, this is an opportunity for mentee to meet and connect with a prominent member of our community.
