“At the end of the day, I leave the Mentoring Conference feeling new energy within my heart and mind, and anxious to put into practice the wonderful strategies that I have learned that day either from a workshop, a colleague, the Great Idea Exchange (GIE), or a simple conversation at lunch! Every moment is worthwhile and I appreciate the careful thoughtfulness that goes into creating the conference schedule. Thank you!” -
“This was a wonderful way to get re-energized and gain new ideas to deliver a better mentoring program to our participants.” - “I cannot wait to share the Balloo and Bagheera analogy with fellow staff, volunteers, and donors! The conference was a great professional development experience! I liked the PowerPoint celebrating the mentoring programs and the Great Ideas Exchange (GIE)! The GIE should be a must for ALL conferences everywhere!”
The 11th Annual Minnesota Mentoring Conference is made possible through the generous support of sponsors.

Now Last year's conference participants loved keynote speaker Michael Karcher, Ph.D., and Dr. Karcher himself whole-heartedly recommends this year's keynote speaker: "Andrea Taylor is one
of the best presenters and most well-rounded researchers in the
field....It would be a real loss for any mentoring practitioner who has a
chance to attend Andrea's talk to miss having a chance to learn from
one of the leaders in the field. She's the real deal." Learn more about Dr. Taylor...  Larry Wright, Ph.D.
