Business Mentoring Matters

Recognizing that our nation is in need of mentors, on January 4, 2010, President Obama proclaims January 2010 as National Mentoring Month.  In his Presidential Proclamation, President Obama says: “Many of us are fortunate to recall a role model from our own adolescent years who pushed us to succeed or pulled us back from making a poor decision.  We carry their wisdom with us throughout our lives, knowing the unique and timeless gift of mentorship.  During this month, I encourage Americans to give back by mentoring young people in their communities who may lack role models, and pass that precious gift on to the next generation.”  To read the full Presidential Proclamation, please click here.
