If you are
a current member of the SF/Peninsula branch of CWC and wish to be a guest
mentor, please submit your proposal to Joyce Robins, 2009-2010 co-chairs for
Group Mentoring Program. We are accepting proposals to fill November 2009 to
June 2010 sessions. Group-Mentoring (usually 12:15-1:15PM) follows the general
meeting of 10:00-noon.
Why would
you want to be a guest-mentor?
- To practice
submitting proposals and competing for a spot;
- To learn how to
publicize your session and prepare hand-outs;
- To polish your
presentation skills;
- To share knowledge
with fellow members;
- To receive feedback
from participants.
What to put
in your proposal:
- Your name and
contact info (include your email address);
- Title of your
presentation (15 words or less);
- Description of your
presentation (50 words or less). Presentation should be 20 to 30 minutes,
with the remaining time for questions and answers, discussions, and for
participants to fill out evaluation forms (supplied by Joyce and Teresa;
Guest-Mentor will get to review and keep these);
- How would your
audience benefit from your session (20 words or less);
Your bio (50 words or less);
- Where and when
you've delivered this presentation before, if applicable;
- When are you
available?
Perhaps in
lieu of delivering a presentation which you've designed . . . You've attended a
conference and have an audio or video tape of a 30 to 45-minute session OR you
have notes from a workshop that you wish to share with fellow members. Submit
your proposal, following above guidelines, but also let us know what conference,
when, and who created and delivered the presentation and in what format you will
be sharing this material. You'll need to bring your own audio/video
equipment.
Email your
proposal as a WORD document attachment to Joyce at Mentoring@sfpeninsulawriters.com. Put
"Proposal for CWC Group Mentoring" in the subject line.
If your
proposal is chosen, you will be asked to email your photo in jpg and an outline
of your talk; these items must be received at least 7 weeks before your event
date.
This format
in Group Mentoring is to further prepare CWC members in the fiercely competitive
industry. We thank past Co-Chairs Martha Clark Scala (creator of CWC Mentoring)
and Patty Block for having paved the road for us.
