 "New Bee" course presented at CFA Mentor Meeting |
|
|
The "New Bee" course was formally launched at the CFA Mentor Committee meeting on Friday, June 29th. A small but very enthusiastic group was in attendance. It was comprised of both experienced exhibitors and "New Bees," as well as the core members of the Mentor Committee.
I am very thankful that we had so many enthusiastic people show up! (I'm also thankful that I was not speaking after Jodelle's exciting presentation - she's a tough act to follow!)
Some relatively new exhibitors related some rather negative experiences about their initial 'mentor' (not someone from the mentor committee, but either someone close to them or the person from whom they got the cat from). I would liken their experiences to that of learning to swim by being pushed off the end of a dock and being told "you'll eventually learn."
That is exactly the type of experience that this program is trying to prevent.
New Exhibitors - please know that most experienced exhibitors really will help you. Usually all you have to do is ask...and listen...and be willing to show that you are interested in learning.
Experienced Exhibitors - please be willing to help these newer folks take their first steps and don't let your knowledge die with you. They may stumble and fall, and their style might differ from yours, but that is how we all learn.
"Be an opener of doors for such as come after thee."

| Site still under developoment..... |
|
|
...but eventually, this will be the area for updates about the New Bee Program, site news, and general musings and thoughts.
There are still a lot of articles to write and some other adjustments to be done to the site, so please bear with me - I'm hoping that soon we'll have enough material up to announce that the 'beta version' is up.
til then
