It used to be the Old Boys Network, but the concept works for everyone.
Last month, I received an email from one of my students from my early days teaching at the Menomonie campus of the Chippewa Valley Technical College. Joy told me that because of my class, she changed her career goal from real estate management to working for nonprofit organizations. Now the executive director of a local nonprofit, she is looking for new ways to increase funding. She asked me to be her mentor in grant writing, which I would have loved to do if I wasn’t moving to Colorado. So I sent out requests to my network of friends, writers, and nonprofit directors asking if anyone would help. And, not surprisingly, all agreed! So Joy has a wealth of mentors, and again my belief in the efficacy of networking is proven true!
