Mentoring
Mentoring programs
have been notably successful in helping to encourage the participation
of younger members, women, and minorities in many large and small
organizations. ASA's Committee on Women has established a mentoring
program and is seeking individuals who wish to be mentored and those
who wish to serve as mentors.
ASA's program is
very informal and unstructured. Established members/mentors are
assigned protégées based on the requests of the protégées,
e.g., by technical specialty, experience, etc. The mentors then
meet and call the protégées periodically, serve as
good listeners, and support and advise their protégées
in their endeavors to function more successfully in their work environments.
Participants come from government, academia, industry, and consulting.
Mentors also encourage their protégées to participate
in ASA activities and help them network in the Society.
