From Membership to Leadership: Organizing & Mentoring the Next Generation of ESP Leaders

Thursday, September 22, 2022, 7:00-8:00 p.m. ET

Presenters:
Naomi Akan, Massachusetts
Sonia L. Fortin, Massachusetts
Amy Morin, Massachusetts

How can we cultivate future ESP leaders so that they can be the leading voices that collectively transform our union and communities? How do we generate a pathway for the next generation of emerging leaders who aspire to take on a more active role within our union?  How do we engage ESP members to advance the priorities of the Association? During this webinar, facilitators will also share how future ESP leaders in Massachusetts will be supported in their leadership journey through the Leadership Mentor Program—focusing on fostering relationship development through a partnership between individuals who share common goals and visions. As they progress in their leadership journey, emerging ESP leaders will be supported by a veteran ESP leader mentor. Veteran ESP leader mentors will support emerging ESP leaders by putting leadership skills into real-life context and real-life practice. Leadership mentoring at the individual and the Association level can also be a vehicle for greater leadership inclusion and diversity.
