MENTOR PROGRAM UPDATE

BY CANDICE ALVAREZ, MMC, MENTOR DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR

Happy February, Clerkdom!

I have continued working diligently to ensure that all mentors are still active, verify which of their mentees are still active, and inquire whether they are able to take on new mentees. If you are a mentor but have not heard from me, please contact me so I can mark you as active in our directory and follow up on your assigned mentees. I have also been continued working on assigning mentors to first-time attendees of Technical Training for Clerks (TTC) and Nuts & Bolts. Following are a few data points on the status of those assignments:

Are you interested in becoming a Mentor? We are holding a Virtual Training for New Mentors on March 2, 2023 at 2:00 p.m.! Register now on CCAC’s website! We especially need mentors in Northern California or who are willing to mentor virtually.

Are you already a mentor but need guidance on best practices or how to mentor in our ever-evolving world? We’ll be holding a Virtual Refresher Training for existing Mentors on March 30, 2023. Keep an eye out for email with a link to register! This training will be sure to reinvigorate your passion for helping our up & coming Clerks.

Additionally, I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate our newly designated Certified Municipal Clerks and Master Municipal Clerks. These individuals have confirmed their commitment to our unique and awesome profession, and I, along with their mentors, colleagues, and agencies, are so proud of their hard work and dedication.
