Interested in becoming an ED mentor?
Are you a leader in your team with 3+ years of experience? Are you interested in supporting new leaders in primary care teams? We are looking for some amazing executive directors and admin leads to join our ED Mentorship Program as mentors!
Mentoring is about supporting people to develop more effectively. It is a relationship based on trust that is designed to help a mentee take on increasing initiative, build confidence, and excel as a leader. New EDs can learn from others who have experience and who are willing to help them in developing their skills and expanding their knowledge. You can read more about the program here.
AFHTO is looking for volunteer mentors for the ED Mentorship Program from different demographics and funding models. We recognize how busy all EDs are as we navigate uncertain times, but we hope you will consider this small investment of your time for a positive and rewarding experience. If you’re interested, please fill out this brief survey, and we’ll be in touch.
If you have any questions, please contact Alex Christy at alexander.christy@afhto.ca or info@afhto.ca.
