DRA NEEDS MENTORS AND MENTEES!

In 2007 DRA launched its Mentor Program. Our Mentor Coordinator, Jeri Cain, very carefully geared it for success by creating specific criteria which would enable us to find good matches. One such criterion is that both mentor and mentee be located in the same geographical area, for ease of communication and for familiarity with local practices.

Although we have several successful matches so far, we have an additional four seasoned reporters who have generously offered to share their valuable time and experience with a student or a new reporter in need, and we have four students or new reporters who have asked for help, but tragically they are in opposite ends of the state!

If you know of any 200-level students or new reporters who could use the guidance of a veteran reporter who have been through it all before, or of any experienced CSRs who are willing to share their wisdom and support, please encourage them to contact our Mentor Coordinator at jcain@meritreporting.com.

The more mentors and mentees we can get on board, the more success our program will have and the better off our profession will be! THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS TO CONTRIBUTE!
