Peer Mentoring’s Latest Initiative: Open Office Hours!
Did you know that the AFP Chicago Peer Mentoring Program extends a special invitation to its protégés? Designed to complement our regular programming, Open Office Hours provide an informal platform for protégés to engage with seasoned professionals from the Peer Mentoring Committee. These sessions offer an hour of invaluable interaction in a small group setting, creating an atmosphere for learning and collaboration. At Open Office Hours, Peer Mentoring protégés can drop in to explore diverse topics, ranging from career trajectories to current trends in fundraising. It is an opportunity to glean insights, seek advice, and forge connections within our vibrant community of fundraisers. Whether navigating their early career or seeking fresh perspectives on established practices, Open Office Hours offer a supportive environment to expand each participant’s knowledge and network. Participation in the AFP Peer Mentoring Program is just one of the many benefits of AFP Chicago membership. This comprehensive program, offered twice a year, pairs seasoned fundraisers with those newer to the field, fostering a culture of mentorship, knowledge exchange, and professional development. Beyond the structured mentorship matches, Open Office Hours add another layer of accessibility and engagement, ensuring that all protégés have opportunities to connect and grow. The Peer Mentoring Committee will be announcing the Spring 2024 Cohort of matched mentors and protégés soon, but it is never too early to plan for the Fall or join the Committee. Ready to take advantage of this unique opportunity? Learn more here. Together, let's ignite inspiration, empower growth, and shape the future of fundraising! Join us in building a stronger, more connected fundraising community.
