‘The Power of Mentoring’ program set
PIQUA — YWCA Connections will feature Melissa Cutcher with “The Power of Mentoring” from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 17 at the YWCA Piqua.
“Selecting a mentor can be one of life’s most important decisions,” Cutcher said. “Mentors help people determine who they want to become, how they must change in order to become the person they desire to be and how they can take advantage of their college or work experiences to bring about these changes,” she added.
The cost for the program and lunch is $9 for YWCA members and $10 for non-members. Payment is due at the door and reservations not paid will be invoiced. Reservations are due by Thursday, March 12, by calling the YWCA Piqua at (937) 773-6626. The YWCA is handicapped accessible.
The mission of Connections is to provide an opportunity for women of diverse backgrounds and experiences a time to meet monthly to connect and network; enabling them to become more empowered and inspired to make a difference in their life and the lives of others. The group traditionally meets the third Tuesday of each month at the YWCA, 418 N. Wayne St., Piqua.
