CASA Mentoring Program: Year Two!
Calling all mentors and mentees! CASA is pleased to share that we will be continuing the CASA Mentoring Program in 2022-23 after a successful inaugural year. This 11-month comprehensive program, kicking off in October 2022 and concluding in August 2023, serves to connect clean water professionals from across the state of California. Working with Core Consulting, which has a depth of experience developing mentoring and training programs working with public agencies, CASA will match mentor/mentee pairs based on their professional goals, preferences, and experience. The program is open to both associates and agency members, and this year we hope to add additional resources and opportunities for participants. If you already know you are interested in this program for the upcoming year, please email Alyssa Downs (adowns@casaweb.org) so we can add you to our interest list. Keep an eye out for more information on this exclusive member benefit in the next few weeks!
