<p>However, using webnars, social media, and other electronic forums I think we can still share ideas, reach a growing number of people and influence actions.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I was the featured speaker at an on-line event hosted by Webheads on February 26, 2012. <a href="http://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2012/02/network-building-process.html" target="_blank">This link</a> takes you to a blog site where I describe the event and provide links.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I will be hosting another session in this forum on April 15 at 8am Chicago time (1400GMT) where I'll be describing the 4-part strategy of the Tutor/Mentor Connection. You can find this at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/y3eh">http://tinyurl.com/y3eh</a></p>
<p>You will need to register at Learning2Gether to participate, but this is a FREE site, and has many valuable on-line forums.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'd like to be doing webnars like this on a regular basis and want to try to offer some at no cost and some for a fee. I need to find a few partners to help host and market these. If any of you are interested, let's discuss. If any of you are already sharing information via on-line forums, please share the dates of events you are hosting.</p>

<ul>
<li><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><font face="Arial" size="2">Draw leaders, volunteers, and stakeholders from more than 150 agencies together for networking and information sharing. Read this <a href="http://becomingwethepeople.org/2011.05.01_arch.html">blog article</a> to expand your network-building abilities.</font></p>
</li>
<li><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><font face="Arial" size="2">Draw business and philanthropy partners into ongoing learning and partnership with tutor/mentor leaders</font></p>
</li>
<li><font face="Arial" size="2">Provide a vision for comprehensive, long-term mentoring that leads youth to careers</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial" size="2">Build trust and relationships among stakeholders to generate partnerships and information sharing during the months between each conference.</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial" size="2">Build awareness of online learning and networking resources and motivate a growing number of participants to use these tools for capacity improvement</font></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><font color="#443333" face="Arial" size="4">Conference Workshops:</font></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Workshops should focus on ways volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs can improve quality, build capacity and succeed for the long-term.</li>
<li>Topics include volunteer recruitment and training, learning strategies for adolescents and teens, fundraising, evaluation and management activities. See our <a href="http://www.tutormentorconference.org/suggestedworkshops.asp">list of suggested workshop topics</a> that have been requested by participants at previous Conferences.</li>
<li>Speakers are encouraged to stay for the entire day of the conference. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">They are not charged a registration fee.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Some of the questions/topics we seek to cover in each conference:</p>
<ol>
<li>What is mentoring, tutoring and how do these combine as school-to-work concepts?</li>
<li>What are our students and volunteers telling us? - "What does it take to make a difference?"</li>
<li>What do leaders tell us. "What does it take to succeed?"</li>
<li>What are communities doing to build more and better tutor/mentor programs?</li>
<li>Who are some of the groups doing the best work that might be copied?</li>
</ol>
<p>Please join this discussion and help us meet these goals so we can help volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs throughout the Chicago region, and in other places.</p> Follow up to May 2011 conferencetag:tutormentorconnection.ning.com,2011-05-21:783429:Topic:225622011-05-21T14:49:20.347ZDaniel Bassillhttp://tutormentorconnection.ning.com/profile/tutormentor

<p>During the conference I did a workshop showing Tutor/Mentor Connection<a href="http://www.tutormentorexchange.net/images/PDF/tmc_resources.pdf" target="_blank">resources</a>. I also talked about how our "<a href="http://www.tutormentorexchange.net/images/PDF/collective%20effort.pdf" target="_blank">collective effort</a>" can overcome challenges we all face. In addition I shared <a href="http://www.tutormentorexchange.net/images/PDF/neworkbuilding2011.pdf" target="_blank">this information</a> showing how I use media to unleash my own personal power, and how you can do that to.</p>
<p>This is a place to help make that happen. We want people who attended the conference to use this forum to share ideas, offer suggestions and start discussions and groups that follow the ideas started at the conference.</p>
<p>As you join the group, browse the previous discussions and join in on them, and look at the other groups on the site where you can also join.</p>

<p>Karina Walker has posted a <a href="http://tmcpip.blogspot.com/2010/12/closer-look-conference-attendees.html">report showing participation and feedback</a> from the November 19 Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference.<br/> <br/>
In this she posted a message received from <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 85%;">Toinette <font size="3">Gunn, Executive Director of <a href="http://tmcpip.blogspot.com/2010/10/peak-site-visit.html">Partnership to Educate & Advance Kids (PEAK)</a>, who led a workshop entitled "Parental Power: Unlocking the Key to Successful Program Outcomes". <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 85%;">She said in her email,</span></font></span> <font size="3"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 85%;">"</span></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I just wanted to let you kno</span>w that I’ve had 4-5 people reach out to me since the presentation to ask to meet with me or get more information</span>."<br />
<br/>
<br/>
Read the <a href="http://tmcpip.blogspot.com/2010/12/closer-look-conference-attendees.html">full report on Karina's blog</a></span></span></span></font><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><br/>
<br/>
<font size="4">What I want people to think about is "where can we find donors/sponsors to cover the full costs of hosting the May and November Conferences" which is close to $25,000 each. <font size="3">This includes staff time during the months preceding each conference to maintain the database and network of tutor/mentor programs as well as the work of finding a location, recruiting speakers, hosting the web site, marketing the event, etc. The raw cost of the space and food for the event is also included.<br/>
<br/>
Fees don't even cover the raw cost, let alone the total costs.<br/>
<br/>
Thus, unless T/MC can find at least $25,000 by mid January, we will not host a face-to-face tutor/mentor conference in Chicago in May 2011. <br/>
<br/>
In spring 2010 a group of Net Impact Chicago volunteers did a survey to compare the Chicago T/MC with mentoring partnerships in other cities. You can see the <a href="http://tmcpip.blogspot.com/2010/12/closer-look-conference-attendees.html">preliminary report</a>. This shows that while the Chicago region population of over 7 million is larger than the total population served by the other partnerships, the T/MC is operating on far less revenue. T/MC has never had more than $225,000 in a single year for everything it does. Mentoring partnerships elsewhere have revenue that ranges from $300,000 to $1.5 million per year.<br/>
<br/>
Thus for the T/MC to have a greater impact in Chicago, it needs leaders from business and philanthropy and government to step forward and take ownership, as <a href="http://www.tutormentorexchange.net/leadership-strategies">these articles</a> encourage.<br/>
<br/>
We do not have a fund raising/development staff and thus we depend on our networking with peers and supporters to help find these leaders and gain their support. If you want to see the conferences continue, and want to see the T/MC continue, please introduce us to benefactors and sponsors who will help pay the bills.<br/>

<p style="text-align: left;">The aim of the Tutor/Mentor Connection is to connect people from business, religion, colleges, health care, law, etc. with the information we host on our web sites, and with the different organizations who do volunteer-based tutoring and mentoring in Chicago and other cities, so that they will be more pro-active every day in reaching out to one or more programs, or the T/MC and similar intermediaries, to provide the talent, time and operating dollars we each need to do good work.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Invite them to this forum so that after the conference we can be working together to help programs apply the ideas they learn from each other, and to help communities organize August/September activities that motivate more people to become volunteers, donors, leaders, supporting one or more of the tutor/mentor programs in Chicago or any other community.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If you write a blog, put this message in your blog. If you use facebook, put this message in your Facebook notes. If you use Linked In, share this message with your friends, and in the groups that you participate in. If you're a salesperson, set up meeting with people on your list and give them reasons, like <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ylzk5g4">this report</a>, that show why businesses should strategically support employee and philanthropic involvement in volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs.<br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As you share this information with others, share what you are doing, who you are talking to and how you are communicating, with each other by posting reports in this forum. <br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If a growing number of people take this role, we'll not only have more people doing workshops and participating in the conferences, we'll have more people reaching out to support all of the non profits who attend the conference, or who are listed in the <a href="http://www.tutormentorprogramlocator.net">Program Locator</a> database.<br/></p> May 2010 Conference Discussion Boardtag:tutormentorconnection.ning.com,2010-02-05:783429:Topic:112602010-02-05T16:54:25.000ZNicole Whitehttp://tutormentorconnection.ning.com/profile/NicoleWhite
Hi Everybody,<br/>I just wanted to invite everyone who would like to be involved in the planning of the May 2010 Leadership and Networking Conference, which will be held at Loyola University Chicago's Rogers Park Campus, to post questions, ideas and suggestions HERE. It takes a village to make the conference happen and we want everybody to have their voice heard in the planning of it.<br/>
