The growth and development of our MHI mentoring program have given us an opportunity to expand our resources. We are pleased to announce a new program available to current and past MHI Mentees: MHI-CONNECT, a network that fosters business and personal advancement, peer support and mentoring, and great friendships.
MHI-CONNECT brings together current and past MHI mentees to take their networking and professional development goals to the next level. With each MHI-CONNECT meeting, members will walk away with greater professional acumen, a more expansive network, deeper alliances and strong friendships.
How does MHI-CONNECT work? Beginning April 2021, MHI-CONNECT members will meet via Zoom every three months, from 7:00 to 8:00 pm Eastern time on the third Tuesday of the month, unless a different day and time is agreed upon by the members. The meetings are exclusive and confidential, and members can speak freely among themselves. The Zoom link will be sent only to those who RSVP for each meeting and cannot be shared with others.
At the end of each quarterly group meeting, Triad groups will be assigned. Triads meet at least twice between the quarterly group meetings. The first Triad meeting should be scheduled within 30 days after the quarterly meeting. The goal of the Triad meeting is for each of the three members to get to know each other well and form stronger networking bonds, as well as developing more skill and confidence in social networking. They will also learn to work together and come up with insights based on resources shared by the larger MHI-CONNECT group.
At the first MHI-CONNECT quarterly meeting, members will introduce themselves and enjoy a short presentation by an expert who will speak about a topic of interest to young professional women. The first group of Triads will be assigned at the end of that meeting. For future meetings, the Triads will share insights they have gathered from the shared resources, followed by the guest speaker and assignment of new Triads.
The first MHI-CONNECT meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 5, 2021. The MHI-CONNECT program fee for the year is $20 for current and former mentees. For new mentees who apply on or after April 19, 2021, the fee is waived.
