Professional Development and Mentoring Resources
As quoted by the NFBPA-Center for Leadership Development, “New leaders must be equipped with the necessary skills to affect change through training, have the ability to discern the lessons of the past through mentoring relationships, and have the opportunity to translate ideas into action through meaningful work experiences.”
