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?

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.

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.
