Dear $$First Name$$:

Last month you got to know your mentor/mentee/peer on a professional and personal level. This month you will be discussing your career paths and setting some goals to achieve by the end of the mentorship program. This can be a critical time in your mentorship relationship. Try your best to keep up the momentum and excitement from the onboarding process and your first meeting. Good luck!

Best Regards,

Sarah B Gregg
Women in Stone Administrator
Natural Stone Institute 

May Check in Webinars
We will be holding brief check-in meetings on Tuesday, May 11th, 2021. These are not required, but may be helpful for some participants. This can be a crucial point for some mentorship relationships—after the “getting to know you” phase and leading into where the real progress happens with individual goals. This will give you a chance to gauge your progress and collect tips for getting to the next point.

To RSVP, email Sarah Gregg.
