There will be a special “Board of Mentors” to mentor the Espian Executive Council. The wisdom of Elders is something to be sought and valued — especially since the valuable experiences of those who've gone before us is all too often neglected in modern society.
What is Expected of Mentors
The specific nature and level of engagement will be up to each individual Mentor. But they will all be expected to:
- Advise and guide us from the depths of their experiences.
- Be frank and open with any feedback they might have.
- Believe in us as individuals.
- Push us to be the best that we can be.
