CLASA BEE MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME

The CLASA members collectively hold a wealth of legal experience.   Are you willing to share this experience with other Legal Advisors?

Clasa has launched a Mentoring Program for previously disadvantaged legal advisors and in house counsel. The program aims to develop both mentors and mentees within the in-house legal profession - providing an opportunity for mentors to give back and gain fresh perspectives and for mentees to raise fresh ideas in a safe space, gain independent and objectives perspectives and enhance their skills and confidence.

REGISTRATION

Your Invitation to Register for the 2008 Mentoring Program

Are you prepared to invest an hour a month to build a successful career path, or give something back to the profession? If so, create your opportunity, and register for the CLASA Mentoring Programme!

The Programme enables a more experienced person (mentor) and a less experienced person (mentee) to both grow, through knowledge sharing and collaboration, using a structured format that is outcome-focused. Best of all, it is unbeatable value: free of charge to CLASA members.

If you are interested in being a Mentor, or a Mentee, register NOW by sending your contact details (name, email address and phone number) to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  Once you have registered, you will liaise directly with Alison Lee, who will match potential mentors with mentees, and who will run a training program for Mentors at the end of July 2008. All Program participants will receive resources and ongoing support throughout the Program.

The Mentoring Program is a terrific benefit of CLASA membership and I encourage you to take advantage of this special opportunity.

Clasa is committed to fostering excellence in in-house lawyers and corporate counsel.
