Happy National Mentoring Month to our NGCP Champions! Million Women Mentors: I'm in DC today to participate in the launch of Million Women Mentors. It was an event full of passion and vision - the day we launched a movement. You can visit the website, www.millionwomenmentors.org<http://www.millionwomenmentors.org>, now - more content to come as this is developed in phases with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). This first phase is a nationwide call to action to capture and pledge commitments from individuals, organizations and companies that have an interest in mentoring. Please visit the website and demonstrate the power of our collaboration community! FabFems: As you may have seen, we are doing a social media push all month long to promote FabFems and National Mentoring Month.
