On Friday, Nov. 21, 2008 the 30th Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference since May 1994 was held at the Chicago Field Museum. Comments from one participant are posted on the T/MC Ning page.
This conference intends to showcase the work being done by various tutoring and/or mentoring programs, share effective practices via networking and workshops, and draw greater public attention to tutor/mentor programs throughout the region. One of our goals is to recruit athletes and celebrities who will draw attention to tutor/mentor programs in multiple locations. This blog post illustrates that concept. During the conference one panel included former NFL Quarterbacks Kurt Kittner and Zak Kustok. If you attended the conference, post your feedback on our Ning page or in the forum on this site.
