Happy Hour Social at Chad’s Grill on Union Blvd
Date: Tuesday, August 24th
Time: 5:00 – 6:30 pm
Modeled after speed dating, speed mentoring is a relatively new concept that focuses on quick-hit information, time-efficient networking and the methodical pursuit of a mentor. It addresses many of the disadvantages of both informal and formal mentoring for employees. By simply providing a venue and structured method for participants to seek out their own mentoring relationships during a fast-paced event, speed mentoring addresses [or solves] many disadvantages of formal mentoring programs.

Debates on the values of diversity and the empowerment and advancement of women have raged for centuries, but when it comes to gender equality, few achievements can compare with the rising role of women in government. The public sector's openness to women serves as a model for the private sector, and ultimately for women as a global workforce, but the path to achieving gender parity has been slow and uneven.
At this working meeting, an invitation-only group will examine five of those aspirations in depth, with the goal of identifying strategies to ensure that the Pathways Programs address the future leadership and human capital needs of the federal government:
Time: Time commitment is about 1 hour (games start between 5:30 and 7-you only need to stay for one game)
