Dear Friends of DSABC,

With the first quarter of the 2016-17 school year completed, DSABC is off to busy and productive start. 

The mentor recruitment efforts from our partner companies has been robust this fall. We've presented information on DSABC's One-on-One Mentoring and Workplace Learning E-Mentoring programs to the employees of Union Savings Bank, Pitney Bowes, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Cartus resulting in 20 new mentors to start the school year. Additionally, DSABC is excited to participate in the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce Business to Business Showcase, being held on Thursday, November 17th. If your company would like more information on getting involved with DSABC, we'd love the opportunity to meet with you. DSABC continues to maintain an extensive waitlist of students in need of a mentor.  (One on One Program: 50+-ongoing and Workplace Learning: 50)

Are you a mentor or student who loves to share your mentoring experience? DSABC has an opportunity for you. As part of our Marketing/Outreach efforts, DSABC is in the process of organizing a speakers bureau where volunteers be available to join DSABC Director and/or Board members to present at meetings with prospective companies or community groups. If you are interested in learning more about getting involved, please contact me at gregom@danbury.k12.ct.us or Public Relations Committee Chair, Sara Bollert at  Sarah.Bollert@cartus.com. 

Thank you for your continued support of DSABC. As we are about to embark on the holiday season, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving,joyous Holidays,and a healthy New Year!

Sincerely,
