The Mentoring Institute at the University of New Mexico is seeking proposals for its fifth annual Mentoring Conference. The conference will be held in the Student Union Building, situated on UNM’s main campus, from Wednesday, October 24 thru Friday, October 26 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This year’s conference theme is “Facilitating Developmental Relationships for Success” and calls for proposals that critically and innovatively analyze different types of developmental relationships and how they contribute to the long-term success and prosperity of an individual. The conference will allow professionals from a multitude of disciplines to share valuable insights that contribute to the future of mentoring.
The keynote speaker for the conference is Professor Belle Rose Ragins, who teaches, consults, and conducts research on diversity, mentoring and gender issues. She has written more than 100 papers for presentations at national and international conferences and for publication in leading academic journals. She is co-author of Mentoring and Diversity: An International Perspective and co-editor of two books: The Handbook of Mentoring at Work and Exploring Positive Relationships at Work.
