M. I. N. D. Mentoring Program
The AAMD MIND Program is a Pillar of our Inclusion & Diversity Committee, that allows some of our industry members to connect and build a valuable network to collaborate, train and mentor our industry ' s future leaders. Connecting some of our current Metro Denver Industry leaders with mentees to go over the it individual developmental goals, have safe conversations and to provide guidance on their career paths.
The MIND program is structured to have mentees and mentors meet for monthly one on ones, quarterly panel sessions and regular check-in sessions.
Recent events included:
• MIND Financial Boot Camp Panel where industry leaders led a panel where mentees were able to ask questions on budgets, financials, & get feedback on financial best practices.
• Maintenance 101 panel where we welcomed mentees to bring additional maintenance team members to join a panel of our Denver RSMs and Directors to discuss communications between operations, maintenance budgeting and collaboration must haves between maintenance & office.
• We’ ve also hosted MIND connection Happy Hours and Check in’ s to get everyone together to see how progress is going, and to celebrate new promotions and career milestones we are seeing within the group.
