What we've heard so far:

Congratulations on a WONDERFUL, SUCCESSFUL Mentoring Summit.  I thought it was great. Everything seemed to run so smoothly and professionally.  I believe everyone enjoyed themselves, I know I did.  People came away with new ideas, plus a good feeling of support and encouragement.  I realize the tremendous amount of work that it takes to put something like this together.  Your hard work paid off.   Be proud, it was terrific!!!  Thank you so much for all that you do!

 

I just got back from the mentoring works summit and to sum it up...WOW.. An absolutely incredible job done by all.  For those who didn't attend, it was 275+ very motivated and positive individuals working for a common cause...The event was run perfectly too...And to throw in that Delaware did get the Federal funding of $750K only added to the energy... Please keep the energy going ...and again, great job to each of you involved...

 

Great Summit on Tuesday!   You must be really pleased - there was a fabulous buzz around the place.   Excellent networking as well; I was able to meet some very useful and inspirational contacts.  

 

Delaware's first annual "Mentoring Works" Summit was outstanding.  KUDOS and congratulations to you, your team and partners.  I know you're elated.  You did a fine job of coordinating many details in a short time including getting an excellent turnout of representatives from business, schools, and community organizations.  The format of the Summit also worked well.  Everyone was pumped and inspired to action --I know I was!

 

I really enjoyed the whole day---very encouraging. Thanks for all that you are doing.

In honor of National Mentoring Month, a collaboration

of mentoring organizations and key stakeholders in

education are launching the first annual “Mentoring

Works” Summit.  The purpose is to strengthen mentoring

in Delaware by encouraging involvement and

participation by all stakeholders as a strategy for

helping young people succeed in school, work, and

life.  The summit will begin with a light breakfast and

networking, followed by a kick off into the day’s

activities.  There will be two breakout session

opportunities, each session lasting and hour in length

and ranging in topic and intended audience.  After the

sessions, the summit will reassemble for a sit-down lunch

and keynote speaker Tyrone Jones, Director of Corporate

Community Alliances at AstraZeneca and a Creative

Mentoring partner and supporter.  The day will end at

1:30 for the majority of participants, leaving all who

attended with a higher, stronger mentoring purpose

and a statewide support system to assist their efforts

improving the lives of Delaware youth!
