 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5.

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Mentorship program update<\/strong> (Eliza) \u2013 Program is on unofficial hiatus, because it\u2019s grown so substantially in size, an has become an administrative burden for Ryan.\u00a0 Needed time to take stock of the success of the mentor-mentee matches.\u00a0 Reviewed applications and matching methods.\u00a0 Matches could be strengthened if there were projects for mentors-mentees to work on.\u00a0 Come up with a list of tasks that they would like to work on, and then reach out to the current group of mentors and mentees.\u00a0 Ask them if they are still interested in participating, and what tasks they would like to work on together.\u00a0 Then, also work on revamping the program, and create a branched program, like the \u201cFind a Conservator\u201d section of the AIC website.\u00a0 Identify tasks that aren\u2019t time consuming (ie, lab tour), and conservators willing to do those could add that to their profiles.\u00a0 For more time-consuming projects, continue with the ongoing mentoring relationship.\u00a0 How to sustain the relationships is another concern.\u00a0 It is currently on the shoulders of the mentor-mentee, but could have a mentorship \u201ckit\u201d that would provide a framework and give suggestions and ideas on how to move forward and maintain the connection.\u00a0 Look at other programs for ideas.\u00a0 Gwen Manthey, WUDPAC graduate at the Walters, is interested in working on the program and meeting some of these challenges.\u00a0 Visit \u201cPossible mentoring program projects\u201d list on the Writeboard on Basecamp, and add any ideas to it.\u00a0 Developing a sort of advisory group from Education & Training and ECPN, to help with matching the 33 people on the list now.\u00a0 Emily mentioned that ETC would love to work on this.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. Amber Kerr-Allison<\/strong> has completed her ECPN term. She has made a great contribution to growing ECPN over the past four years.\u00a0 The committee is deeply grateful for her sustained commitment to ECPN.<\/p>\n
