Ad hoc Committee

Mentorship Committee

This committee’s charge is to provide insight and direction in the development of a mentorship program. This program will allow members to develop professionally in their career path, whether student, early career, or mid-career. The committee is responsible for developing a program plan from implementation through delivery for consideration by the ASEV board.

This committee will meet initially in this first year as needed to fully determine the program plan, which may include as few as 2 or as many as 4 meetings each year.

Committee members are comprised of professional and emeritus members per the Ad hoc Committee Protocol and are typically selected in June/July each year to be approved by the ASEV Board of Directors in August.
