Purpose

• Inform and encourage the person being mentored to attend NCASFAA conferences and other training opportunities, such as SASFAA Summer Workshop.
• Be from the same sector when possible.
• Not tell the person they are mentoring what to do, but provide guidelines, options and suggestions.

The Person being Mentored should:

• Be a NCASFAA member.
• At NCASFAA's recommendation, inform their supervisor of their request for a mentor and share any suggestions with their supervisor before implementation.
• Participate in NCASFAA's Professional Advancement Workshops.

If mentor-related travel is necessary and the institution of the person requiring travel will not cover the cost, NCASFAA will cover the cost with a request in writing submitted to NCASFAA's Vice President for pre-approval.
