Mentor Program
As we think every current member has found, this organization is a friendly and helpful group of people! "Helpful" being the key word here. We have members with upwards of 30 years experience and members with less than a year experience. Here's where the word "helpful" comes in. "Helpful" as in Mentor.
Mentors can restore more windows vicariously through new window restoration businesses! And the more window restoration businesses out there in the big wide world, the more attention window restoration will get! This is a beautiful symbiotic relationship that helps all window restoration companies. Large and small!
Requesting assistance starts with an introductory email to the chosen mentor.
It’s the men-tee's responsibility to initiate/terminate the relationship.
Upon initial contact with a chosen mentor, the mentee will discuss and agree upon best times for contact.
