ASOA Group Mentor Program
ASOA Group Mentor Program
ASOA and the Administrator Beginners Circle (ABC) are excited to announce a Group Mentorship Program in which newer administrators (those with 4 or fewer years’ experience) can participate in virtual group mentorship sessions with a seasoned administrator acting as the group moderator and mentor.
Developed and sponsored by the Administrator Beginners Circle (ABC) Taskforce, the group mentor sessions will be held as virtual monthly roundtables, facilitated over Zoom. Each roundtable will have a mentor moderator with up to 10 mentees, guaranteeing meaningful discussion and thoughtful dialogue centered around topics relevant to today’s administrator and practice.
