Thanks to the volunteers who assisted in peer review of submissions to the 2010 ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition.
ADEA Mentor/Mentee Program
First-time attendee? Get the most out of your ADEA Annual Session experience by teaming up with a mentor - someone who knows the ropes and can help you navigate the meeting.
The ADEA Annual Session Mentor/Mentee Program is designed to bring together ADEA Annual Session veterans and first-time attendees. Experienced ADEA members and ADEA Annual Session veterans are encouraged to participate in the ADEA Annual Session Mentor/Mentee Program to help first-time attendees learn more about ADEA and the ADEA Annual Session, and begin networking with other members.
Mentors must have attended at least two ADEA Annual Sessions and have a significant knowledge of ADEA and great people skills. Mentors will be matched with participants prior to the meeting. When a match is made, ADEA will notify the mentor and mentee, providing contact information and suggested guidelines. To sign up to be a mentor or mentee, make your selection on your registration before the deadline. Questions? Please contact opd@adea.org.
