*ND-WIN MENTORSHIP PROGRAM AND HAPPY HOUR REGISTRATION 11/14*
ND WIN is rolling out a Mentorship Program and we invite you to register to participate in the program and to attend the upcoming Mentorship Program Kick-off Happy Hour. The ND WIN Mentorship Program is intended to pair up local alumni to create valuable and informal mentoring relationships. Mentoring is beneficial to both parties involved as it provides a way for more experienced professionals to give back and for Proteges to advance their careers through guidance and advice. The Kick-off Happy Hour will be a great opportunity to learn more about the program and to network with other local alumni. Please see below for details and registration information.
