Mentorship
Mentorship Program Goals: The New England HIMSS Mentorship Program is designed to facilitate conversation between NE HIMSS members who wish to offer advice (Mentors) and those who are looking for advice (Mentees). This advice could be relating to professional development, learning about different HIT career paths, or potentially other areas of interest. Mentorship Committee: The Mentorship Committee consists of NE HIMSS members who have participated in the NE HIMSS mentorship program in the past, either as a Mentee or as a Mentor. This committee is responsible for various crucial tasks, including program development, creating optimal mentor/mentee matching, fostering collaboration and networking opportunities, and continuously enhancing the quality of the mentorship program. To ensure active participation, all members are required to attend at least 70% of the meetings which typically occur monthly except during mentor/mentee matching, and during program re-evaluation, which can be every two weeks.
Mentorship Committee Leadership: The committee has at least one chair and ideally, a co-chair and/or vice-chairs. These individuals possess valuable experience with the program, enabling them to comprehend past programmatic goals and effectively connect with the larger chapter. If interested in joining this dynamic team, please reach out to our Mentor Program Chairs. Chair responsibilities include:
- Engage in helping manage and improve the program
- Appropriately matching participants based upon their applications
- Facilitating virtual meetings for the program
