The Women in Code Enforcement and Development Chapter of ICC to Offer Speed Mentoring Event at Dallas Code Hearings
Are you looking for a mentor to help you along your career path? Do you want to find out more of what being a code official is all about? Have you ever wanted to have some one-on-one face time with some movers and shakers in the code enforcement and development industry? If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, then speed mentoring may be just what you need.

Speed mentoring is similar to speed dating. There will be approximately 10-15 mentors participating as mentees rotate through the tables of mentors spending five minutes with each mentor. This event will take place April 28 at 8 pm. More information about the event, including participating mentors as well as the event location will be forthcoming. Be sure to mark this event on your calendar. This event is open to all ICC members.
