Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota
Great Ideas Exchange

Back by popular demand in 2008! This innovative session gives conference participants the opportunity to learn “great ideas” from the field, in a fast-paced, "mini-workshop" format, similar to speed-dating. Don’t miss this showcase of best ideas from your peers in the mentoring field!

Do you have a Great Idea?  Or have you heard about a Great Idea that you would like someone else to share?  Share your great ideas with your peers during the 2008 Minnesota Mentoring Conference on October 20!  Or, nominate a peer to share their great idea! 

Contact April McHugh, Director of Training & Community Partnerships, at aprilm@mentoringworks.org or (612) 370-9148 for further information.  Deadline for submissions is September 30, 2008.
