LEAD and LEARN—Connecting Today’s Executives with Tomorrow’s Leaders

You are warmly welcome and encouraged to join us December 5 for the kick-off of SACC Chicago’s Mentoring Program. In town to help launch our program is Gunilla Girardo, former President of SACC-USA, life-long passionate mentor and a champion facilitator of Swedish-American business relations, now an Executive Recruiter for European companies in the U.S. She will explain the business and career benefits of mentoring and show how to build a rewarding mentoring relationship. We’ll finish our kick-off with a fun and interactive flash mentoring session.

SACC Chicago’s Mentoring Program will serve as a bridge for our young professionals to gain insights into various career paths and learn from more experienced professionals how to navigate and manage in today’s complex and ever-changing business landscape.  By using our great SACC Chicago member network of accomplished professionals from a variety of industries, our goal is to give back and pay it forward to our ambitious young professionals and help them accelerate their careers, develop as professionals and learn from our joint vast experiences. Our Mentoring Program will run between January and June of 2020. Current Mentors and Mentees will be present at this event and share their experience. New Mentors and Mentees will be matched after our kick-off. Mentees and Mentors will meet 4-5 times during the Spring. These meetings are scheduled when and where convenient for both of you. Ideally, you’ll meet in person but sometimes a Skype or Facetime meeting will suffice. We will finish our Spring mentoring program with a networking reception celebrating the many successes that we know our program will bring.  Interested in sponsor the Mentoring Program and our Young Professionals?
