The
May Conference will be held May 27th and 28th at Loyola University Chicago. Speakers are encouraged to submit PDFs of
workshop presentations, which will be posted on the agenda page as they are
received.
The Conference serves three purposes.
- It connects leaders and supporters of volunteer-based tutoring, mentoring and education-to-career programs with each other.
- It also builds visibility so that more volunteers and donors will choose to support tutor/mentor programs in the Chicago region
- Helps T/MC maintain its Chicago Area Programs List of area tutor/mentor programs
Here's what program leaders have to say about the conference
"It
was great to meet you at the Conference last Thursday. I found it as an
excellent opportunity to meet some great people and get some valuable
information. I found the last session of the day, on fundraising
strategies: 10 Ways to Stay Ahead in This Economy, to be one of the
best; I'm glad I stuck around for it."
