FGFOA Mentoring Program 
The FGFOA Board of Directors is developing a Mentoring program.  Mentoring has been identified as an important influence in professional development. Benefits of mentoring include increased commitment to the organization, and knowledge sharing.  This is especially true in light of the baby boomer generation of retirees in addition to today’s current economic climate with early retirement buyouts.  The Board is focused on knowledge transfer and the development of future leaders.
 
Mentors will be Past Presidents and past and current Board members.  There will be a formal application process for the Mentoring Program to be sent out in June 2010.  Space in the program will be limited.  There will be an effort to match you up with mentors that best suit your objectives.
 
If you are interested in participating, please complete the attached form and return to the FGFOA Office at
