This network is for anyone interested in the future of mentoring, and particularly in new approaches to reflect the realities of flatter organisations, the implications of culture and gender, and the relevance of mentoring for 'ordinary' people as well as selected fast trackers. The purpose of the Network is to share ideas and information about non-traditional mentoring, ways in which this can be used to develop individuals, and the links with change and corporate cultures. The first meeting took place on 17 September 1992, largely of people who had been contacted by Julie Hay as part of research into books being written for publication by McGraw-Hill. Quarterly meetings take place during the first week of January, April, July and October, running from 1030 to 1530 to make it easier for those travelling long distances.
Venues depend on offers to act as host and dates change occasionally around holidays.
A D International co-ordinates arrangements and maintains a directory of members.
