OWBA Mentoring Program

It is time to join the Ohio Women’s Bar Association Mentoring Program. The program is organized into “Circles,” much like Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean InCircles. Each Mentoring Circle will consist of approximately 1-3 mentors to approximately 8-12 mentees. This allows mentees to have exposure to the influence, experience and wisdom of more than one seasoned OWBA mentor, making the program more interesting and rewarding to the mentees and allowing them to explore more fields of practice within a single mentoring year.

Mentoring circles will begin meeting in January 2018, and are expected to meet at least 4 times throughout the school year. The deadline to apply for this program is November 13, 2017. For more information and to apply visit the OWBA website at www.owba.org/mentoringprogram.
