Join us for part 1 of the "Skip the Small Talk" series for our Virtual Mentoring Mixer presented by the EACE Mentor Network Sub-Committee! During this session, you'll learn more about the EACE Mentor Network, its purpose, and how to get involved. Then we'll lead a networking activity about mentorship in small groups to help you meet new people and "skip the small talk" so you can form genuine connections with professionals at all levels. This is an opportunity for new and veteran EACE members alike to grow your networks and maybe even find someone who could be a mentor or mentee to you! Whether you're a new professional looking for a mentor or a seasoned pro who wants to give back and mentor the next generation of leaders - this event is the perfect chance to meet new connections in an organic way that could grow into future mentorship opportunities. Part 2 of the series is an in-person speed networking event that will take place at this year's EACE Annual Conference.
