“One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination.” – John C. Maxwell, #1 New York Times best-selling author, coach and speaker on leadership
In promoting the career advancement and leadership development within the Pan-Asian American community, NAAAP-Chicago is pleased to announce the launch of its Mentoring Program. Designed to make a lasting impact and create laudable leaders through quality programming, learning and networking events among a carefully selected group of mentors and mentees, the NAAAP-Chicago Mentoring Program strives to accomplish a mutually beneficial relationship among its cohort.
Mentoring supports personal and professional development; mentors are trusted guides with whom mentees can turn to for advice.
