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.

Program Kick-Off:
Norman Chamber of Commerce, January, 20, 2011 from Noon – 1:30 p.m.
This is the first opportunity for mentor and mentee to meet and establish their goals.  All regular meetings between mentee and mentor will be coordinated by the participants.

Program Guidelines & Important Dates:
Submit $25 participation fee at the time of application. Mentees and mentors must attend an update meeting on March 31, 2011 and a wrap-up session on May 26, 2011.  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.
