A mentor program provides an organized way of providing assistance
to individuals who would otherwise be limited in their capabilities and
understanding of basic business practices and environment in general. It
also provides a way for individuals in business to gain greater competence
and proficiency in understanding the private and commercial business and
professional environment.
We wish to support activities designed to (1) participate in the growth
and understanding of the professional environment, (2) improve the business
common sense of individuals, and (3) assist in alleviating social problems
as they affect the professional achievement of Women In Business.
The government office SCORE is a group of volunteer retired executives
who have volunteered to mentor via email. I will caution you that these retired volunteers may not have
experience in online business but can assist you in general business issues
pertaining to building specific business skills.
We hope to provide on-line instruction for new owners and (1)
share resources with experienced women in business, (2) encourage women
in business to identify and set realistic and achievable goals, (3) support
each other's desire to stay or enter into business as a way to achieve
their goals and improve self-esteem and (4) to create a successful atmosphere
to attain growth in business and personal relationships. If you are interested
in a specific topic, please let Deb Nyberg
know so FoD can arrange a session for you.
