PP Jim Wilson reported on the Membership Forum that was held at Nossal High School on Saturday 13th October. One of the items raised at the Forum was that of mentorship.
Mentoring a new member in Rotary is a process by which experienced Rotarians provide ongoing support and special fellowship to a new member and it can be a very effective way to help the new member become accustomed to his/her club
Each new member is assigned a mentor and should maintain regular contact with those nominated. They should seek out their mentor when they need advice, or encounter problems in relation to their role as a Rotarian.
The key element of any mentoring program is the continuous support that the mentor provides to the new member.
A strong mentoring program is an effective complement to any club's new member orientation program.
