On September 1, join us as we chat with Victoria Tinsley of Valence, on how to create a great mentorship program for your community. She will dive into what this looks like from all areas -- value of a mentorship program, tips on pairing mentors to protégés, moderation techniques, and measuring benchmarks. If you are interested in building a mentorship program of your own or even just hosting a couple community events around mentorship pairings, this is the event for you!
Join us on the first Tuesday of the month for another CMX Connect in San Francisco. CMX Connect events are about harnessing the incredible power of community. This program fulfills the need for community professionals to come together in-person and learn, grow, and, well… Connect!
