Dear Colleagues,
 
The New Members Round Table (NMRT) Mentoring Committee is pleased to announce that 
they are accepting applications for their Conference Mentoring Program for the ALA 
Annual Conference in June!
 
Attending your first ALA Conference?
 
Overwhelmed by all the programs and events available at Annual?
 
Sign up for a Conference Mentor today!
 
The Conference Mentoring Program is open to all ALA members and is designed to 
connect a first time conference attendee with a 'seasoned professional' who can 
help them navigate the ALA Annual Conference.
 
If you are on your way to becoming a librarian, or are new to the profession, this 
program is for you!

The application deadline is May 1, 2008. 
 
Applicants will be matched with a Conference Mentor in May and communicate via 
email or telephone prior to the conference and then meet
during the conference.

guidance, it is focused on issues related to the ALA Annual Conference.  NMRT also 
offers a Career Mentoring program that will begin taking applications at the end of 
the summer.  Please watch your email for an announcement regarding Career Mentoring 
later this year.  
 
Thank you,
