&  Lyndsey Crum, Assistant Vice President for Alumni & Community Relations, University of Northern Colorado

UNC Campus Commons (Space 222 on the campus Map) in the Multipurpose Room, 2101 10th Avenue, Greeley, CO 80639 This beautiful building is where the theatre is located, north of 22nd Street between 10th & 11th Avenues.

What does it mean to be a mentor? Do you have what it takes? (Here’s a hint…you DO!) This workshop will help you actualize the power of an impactful mentor relationship by identifying the qualities a mentor should have, while exploring the balance between a mentor relationship and a friendship.  Do you have the honor of mentoring someone through work, a nonprofit organization, in an education setting, or through a sport or recreational activity?

As our local community is growing, the need for mentorship for young community and civic business leaders is growing as well. Let’s mentor them and hold them up!  Would you be willing to host someone so they could job shadow you as a way to learn more about what you do and your business?  Helping to strengthen these individuals works to create a connected and engaged civic community. It can also confirm and strengthen interest an a career field someone is considering.

Ladies: here’s a way you can contribute and take an active role in this Workshop:

We will be focusing on the impact of mentorship. Please take a minute to answer the following questions and email your answers to Anna.

  • Does your organization have a mentorship program?
  • Would you like to start one?
  • Our presenters would like to highlight local opportunities for mentorship in our community!

Please send your organization name or business and your website to Anna Green at anna.green@unco.edu before Wednesday, August 23 to be included.

Three key points we will learn about and take away…
  1. What is mentoring and why it should matter to you.
  2. Who should be a mentor and how you qualify.
  3. A highlight of mentorship opportunities at UNC and local nonprofits.

Kristi Helzer, President/Facilitator, gave birth to Northern Colorado Women In Business in January of 2009…to help business women support each other in achieving our goals! We are well into our 15th year and we continue to thrive and attract new women monthly.
We promote learning from each other and experts in their field so we can gain knowledge, skills, inspiration, courage, and confidence to perfect our business practices to become the best at what we do.
We have launched our Membership drive: July – October with three options to best fit your business situation. You will choose from Ultimate, the most popular for women working fulltime; Nonprofit for women employed or volunteering for nonprofit organizations; or Basic, which is for our Retired, partially retired or a woman who has a fulltime job in addition to her “Side Hustle” (business on the side) that she works when she can.

We believe in doing business locally to support a healthy economy and a healthy community.
We endorse giving back to worthy efforts that impact community members and host a different area nonprofit each month when we have the opportunity to donate $5 + 1 business card…or $15 + 3 business cards. This is free choice and at the close of the Workshop we draw a card so both a member and the chosen nonprofit will share the total donated.
Monthly Workshops are $38, your participation is valued. Registration closes at 5 p.m. the last Wednesday of the previous month, so register early before seating is maxed-out. By “showing up” you can turn contacts into powerful connections to build your business.
Members are surveyed each summer and suggest the topics and speakers that we showcase throughout the upcoming year.
