Dear Members,

We are happy to announce that the Victorian Branch of the SSA will be running a mentoring event for young SSA members to learn from more senior members at various stages of their careers and from various industries.

The event is planned to be run online via Zoom on the evening of the 23rd of June, 2020. It will be at most a two-hour commitment, whereupon some short introductions will be given by each mentor to the attendees, at large, followed by a 'speed-dating'-style rotation of attendees to facilitate more intimate discussions.

Due to the intimate nature of the event, places are limited, and thus we are offering mentorship opportunities for registered members only (i.e., mentee attendees). Although, there is no membership restriction if you plan to attend as a mentor.

If you wish to express your interest in attending as a mentor or a mentee, then please fill out the Google form (link below).

Further details will be provided once enough information has been collected.

If you have any questions or comments then please feel free to email me, the organiser, at h.nguyen5@latrobe.edu.au.

Best regards, and looking forward to hearing from you!
