On April 29, the San Diego Young Leaders cohort gathered some tips and tools from special guest, Rebecca Smith, a LEAD program graduate and expert in all things leadership development, on the importance of mentorships and how to be a good mentee.

As Executive Director of Point Loma Nazarene University’s Office of Strengths and Vocations, she was able to help guide the participants on best steps in connecting with and maintaining strong relationships with mentors. The conversation also helped many SDYL members take the final steps in getting involved with LEAD’s newest Mentorship Program!
