Let’s Connect! One of the best ways to improve your teaching skills or

grow your studio is through mentoring. The October General Meeting

will be a combination presentation/workshop on establishing a

mentor/mentee relationship and how to get the most from this

partnership. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with

each other and maybe even find a mentor to help them with a

particular area where they would like guidance.
