The goals of the SAME mentoring program are to help Young Members reach their full potential, and to recognize Posts for their mentoring activities. Good leaders do a number of things.
Good leaders communicate a clear vision and articulate a precise direction.
Good leaders provide performance feedback, inspire and encourage and, when necessary, counsel. Each Post should appoint a Fellows Mentoring Coordinator from among its members in the Academy of Fellows. Each Post should appoint a Young Member to serve as a Vice President. The sessions should stimulate discussions about professional subjects among Fellows Mentors and Young Members. Fellows should ensure Young Members are introduced to all Post members and help Young Members become entirely involved in both this program and other Post activities.
